School Organisation
Lordship Farm primary school currently accommodates approximately 440 children. Allocation of children into classes is on a chronological basis.
Currently the school is organised as follows:
Each teacher is responsible for the education and pastoral care of the children in his or her class and may also take on an overall responsibility for a particular aspect of the school’s curriculum. As an ‘open plan’ school we operate a ‘team teaching' approach which means in practice that children may be taught by different teachers during the course of the week.
Admission Arrangements
We follow Hertfordshire County Council's (HCC's) policy on admissions as described in the ‘Admission to Primary Schools ‘ booklet sent to all parents of 3 year old children by the County Council. Applications for school places in the Nursery are managed by the school whilst Reception places are managed centrally. Admissions other than in Reception and the Nursery are classed as in-year applications and need to be made through the HCC admissions portal.
