Admissions
A comprehensive induction programme is provided for new Reception parents and carers, to include guidance on how best to prepare their children for starting school. All children admitted to the Reception Class join in September, at the start of the academic year. As part of our induction programme for the pupils we adopt a gradual build up towards staying for the full day. When the children start school in September they will stay for the morning only for the first two weeks (i.e. they will finish at 12 noon). For the third week they will stay for lunch and go home at 1.20pm. From the fourth week they may spend the full day in school and go home at 3.15pm. If parents wish, they may attend for the morning sessions only during the Autumn Term.
Reception 2026 Intake Tours
Maple Primary School warmly invite prospective parents and carers looking for a Reception place for their child for the September 2026 intake to attend a tour of our school.
These tours will be led by Mrs Shanti Johnson, Headteacher, to give you the opportunity to see the school in action and to ask any questions.
To book yourself on to a tour, please email admin@maple.herts.sch.uk and let the Office team know your preferred date and how many will be attending. We politely ask that only adults attend. There are limited places on each tour date.
We look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you into our school community.
