Admissions

Please contact HCC directly with any queries regarding admission arrangements. Details available on the Hertfordshire County Council website.

What if my child is not offered a place at Kingsway Infant School?
If your child is not offered a place at Kingsway Infant school, the county council will usually allocate a place at the nearest suitable school to your home address that still has available spaces.
You can take the following steps if you still want to get a place at Kingsway Infant School
-
Accept the allocated place: Accept the school you were offered right away so your child has a guaranteed school to attend. Accepting this place does not stop you from pursuing other options or staying on waiting lists.
-
Join the Continued Interest (waiting) list: Your child will automatically go on the continued interest list for any Hertfordshire schools you ranked higher than the one you were offered. Movement often happens as families change their minds or move away.
-
Appeal to an Independent Panel: If you believe the admissions rules were not applied correctly or you have strong exceptional grounds, you can lodge an appeal with the Hertfordshire County Council School Appeals Panel.
