How Hertfordshire County Council Process your Application
They treat each of your three rankings as a separate application, regardless of the order you have listed them in, and work out how well you qualify for each school using the admission rules. If the schools receive more applications than they have places available, they use their admission rules (as seen below) to decide to whom they can offer a place. Places are allocated to those who best meet the published admission rules.
Rule 1 – Children Looked After.
Rule 2 – Medical or Social: Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school. Rule 3 – Linked School. Rule 4 – Sibling. Rule 5 – Children for whom it is their nearest community or voluntary-controlled school. Rule 6 – Children who live nearest to the school.Parents may request the name of their nearest school by calling the Customer Service Centre 0300 123 4043.
