Admission Arrangements 2026 – Statutory Consultation

Richard Hale School is consulting on the proposed admissions arrangements for the school year 2026/27 and is seeking responses from parent/carers, schools and community groups. There are no proposed changes to the admission arrangements, this is a statutory consultation as the school has not consulted on its admissions arrangements for seven years.

The consultation period runs from 28^th October– 8^th December 2024. Please send your comments regarding the proposals to the school direct at admin@richardhale.co.uk.

Hertfordshire County Council is also running a consultation on the proposed admissions arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools for the school year 2026/27 and is seeking responses from parent/carers, schools and community groups.

HCC’s proposed changes are:

1. To reduce the published admission number (PAN) at four community or voluntary controlled primary schools (you should only include this point if you are a school located in one of the relevant areas – see attached).
2. Retain the remainder of the county council’s existing admission arrangements for 2026/27, including PANs, Relevant Areas and schemes of coordination.

The consultation period runs until 8 December 2024.
