ADMISSIONS
At Oughton Primary and Nursery School, we follow the Hertfordshire Local Authority’s Admission guidelines for Reception to Year 6, which includes the DfE guidance regarding admission of Summer born children to Reception. We accept admissions fairly and equally (regardless of need or ability) and have up to 30 pupils per class.

Applying for a place
summer born children
If your child is born between 1 April and 31 August they're classed as a "summer born" child. Children usually start Reception class in the September after their 4th birthday. However, if your child is summer born, you might feel they're not ready to start school. If this is the case, please contact us to discuss delaying their entry until the September following their 5th birthday: [email protected]
