If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.

General information on all application processes is available on http://www.hertsdirect.org/services/edlearn/admissions/.

As an Academy we manage all of our own in-year admissions and Nursery admissions whilst Herts County Council co-ordinates our Reception admissions.

Nursery Admissions

Our Nursery hours are 8.40 am to 11.50 pm Monday to Friday.  We only offer non-flexible places for five days a week; 3 hours per day, we do not offer part time places. Our Nursery is also just for children the year before they start compulsory education (e.g. the academic year in which they turn 4). 

For children whose date of birth is between 1^st September 2020 and 31^st August 2021, admissions will

open on Tuesday 31st October 2023 and close on Friday 23rd February 2024. 

Please come and collect a form from the office or email us at admin@mandeville.herts.sch.uk for a digital copy or you can download one below. 

Reception Admissions

The application process for September 2024 (for children whose date of birth is between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020) will open on 1st November 2023 and will close on 15 January 2024.

"New to Reception" tours

We warmly invite you to come and see what a normal day is like at Mandeville by booking on to one of our "new to Reception" tours.

The Head Teacher, Mrs Longhurst and Deputy Head Teacher, Mrs Williams will take you on a tour of our Early Years provision followed by a look around the rest of the school so you can get a good feel of our happy, hard-working school.

Tours take approximately an hour, but there is always the option to just have a look at Early Years (which will take around 20 minutes to half an hour).
We encourage you to bring your children with you because it's so important that you can see your child in our environment and it makes the tours more fun for us!

We ask that you carry very young children though, as pushchairs, prams and buggies can be hard to manoeuvre around classrooms.  

Place on each tour are limited to 10 adults. 

Please call the office to book your place on 01727 519220 or email us at admin@mandeville.herts.sch.uk
