Admission Arrangements 2027 – Consultation

Richard Hale School is consulting on the proposed admissions arrangements for the school year 2027/28 and is seeking responses from parent/carers, schools and community groups.

 

The proposed changes are:

  1. Removal of proportional allocation of places within priority parishes, from 2027 places will be allocated using percentages based on historic data for the priority parishes
  2. Removal of the random allocation for Rules 5 and 6, from 2027 places will be allocated using distance measuring

 

The consultation period runs from the 27th October to the 7th December 2025. Please send your comments regarding the proposals to Mrs K Dart, Admissions Officer, by email to  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 2027/28 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 three community primary schools
  2. Retain the remainder of the county council’s existing admission arrangements for 2027/28, including PANs, Relevant Areas and schemes of coordination
