Usually at this time of the year I am busy showing families around the school, as parents engage with that important decision about selecting a school place for their nursery or reception aged child. This is usually an opportunity to get a real feel for the school in action, to see the interactions between peers and between children and adults and simply to 'feel' the school. There are usually lots of questions on a range of topics to keep me on my toes!
Reception applications (for children born between 1st Sep 2016 and 31st Aug 2017) open on 2/11/20 and close on 15/01/21. The reception tour is available here:
If you have any questions about the application process, please contact Mrs Levey in the main school office on 01438 729555. If you have specific questions about the school please email me on head@stvincent.herts.sch.uk and I will endeavour to get back to you as soon as I can.
It is sad that this is not possible this year due to Covid-19 restrictions. With this in mind, we have produced two virtual tours - one for nursery and one for reception to help you to get a feel for the school.
Nursey applications (for children born between 1st Sep 2017 and 31st Aug 2018) opened on 03/09/20 and close on 27/11/20. The nursery tour is available here:
We are aware that some families have been concerned about the 'Certificate of Catholic Practice' (CCP) that forms part of our over-subscription criteria. All of the clergy locally are aware that this will be causing anxiety for some and families will not be disadvantaged due to lack of physical access to Church due to Covid-19 measures throughout the Catholic Church. The Catholic Education Service and the Diocese of Westminster have advised that the CCP should still be used this year if it forms part of the oversubscription criteria.
Please spread the word about admissions. The timescales are the same for both Catholic Primary schools in Stevenage who work closely together throughout the admissions process.
