Parents will be applying to send their children to primary, junior and middle schools across Hertfordshire with many new infants starting school for the first time. Choosing the right school for your child can be an incredibly daunting task for any parent.
Fortunately, Ofsted can help make the task a little easier before applying. The government body is responsible for inspecting schools and other educational institutions.
Inspectors will visit schools, write up a report and give the school a final rating. A school will be rated as either outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.

If your child is due to start primary school or move on to a junior or middle school next year, make sure you apply for a place in good time. The easiest way to apply for a school place for September 2023 is to visit the Herfordshire County Council website here and complete the online application form.
Online applications can be amended at any time before the closing date, and you can access your school offer before allocation letters are received and accept your school allocation online.
The closing date for Under 11s applications is Sunday 15 January 2023 and it is vital that parents make their applications on time. Last year, 99 per cent of parents applied this way and found the system quick, easy and secure.
A leaflet explaining how to apply will be distributed to Hertfordshire families at the beginning of November. They will be posted directly to families with children of reception age and distributed by schools to children in year 2 in infant schools and year 4 in first schools.
