Lunchtime is 12 mid-day to 12.50 pm for Reception and KS1 classes and 12.15 pm to 1.05 pm for our KS2 classes.

We also offer wrap round care from 7.40 am until 6pm each day.
Reception, KS1 and KS2 In-year Admissions
Admissions
Our Pupil Admission Number is currently 30. We follow the terms of the Hertfordshire Local Education Authority’s admission policy to accommodate children from within our local area wherever possible. Hertfordshire Local Authority is responsible for the allocation of places in schools for children of primary school age, with children joining the reception class in the September before their fifth birthday. In the Autumn prior to this, there is an opportunity to tour the school, meet the staff and find out more about George Street.
