New CRP Process for 2024/25
If you completed a form in the last two years, the process has now been reviewed and updated. To be considered a priority applicant, Reception and Nursery applications must submit a CRP as well as a Supplementary Information Form (Reception) or an Application Form (Nursery), even if this was submitted for Nursery 2023 or there is a sibling at HJPS.
All documentation must be supplied either in a PDF format, by post or by hand via our security team.
Hertfordshire County Council opens their portal on Wednesday 1 November – please click here. Registration with the council is a requirement for all Reception applications.

Appeals for 2024-25
If your child applied to Hertsmere Jewish Primary School or our Nursery but was not offered a place, you have a right to appeal this decision to an independent appeal panel. The appeals timetable depends on the type of application:
| Year Group | Type of Application | Date of Notification whether a place is allocated | Deadline to submit appeal | Appeal hearing date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nursery | On time application for September 2024 | [February 2024] | 4pm on 31 May 2024 | Between 21 June and 12 July |
| Reception | On time application for September 2024 | 16 April 2024 | 4pm on 31 May 2024 | Between 21 June and 12 July |
| Nursery or Reception | Late application for September 2024 | February 2024 for Nursery May or June 2024 for Reception | Within 20 school days after notification that the application was unsucessful | Within 60 school days after notification that the application was unsuccessful or within 30 school days after the appeal is submitted, whichever is the later |
| Any | In-year application | Within 15 school days after application | Within 20 school days after notification that the application was unsucessful | Within 30 school days after the appeal is submitted |
If you submit an appeal after the relevant deadline, it will still be scheduled, but it may be heard at a later date than appeals that were submitted on time, which may put you at a disadvantage. We will endeavour to hold these appeals within 40 school days after the appeal is lodged.
Appellants will be notified of their hearing date at least 10 school days before the hearing.
