Admissions - Pirton School

Pirton School is a village school, in the village of Pirton on the outskirts of Hitchin. Our children come from Pirton itself and further afield and from both Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. We have 131 children in our school in 6 classes.

If you have a child due to start school in September 2027, our tours will take place on Monday 12th October, Monday 19th October, Monday 2nd November, Monday 9th November in the mornings at half hour intervals between 9.30am and 11.30am.

Please contact the school office if you wish to make an appointment to join a group tour and see our learning environment.

Please let friends/family know if they have a child due to start school in September 2027. Even if you have a child already at Pirton, we would recommend booking a tour as our Reception provision has changed a lot in the last few years.

We also welcome in year admissions.

Our class structure for September 2026 is as follows:

16 Reception children – Wrens

22 Year One children – Robins

13 Year Two children – Swifts

21 Year Three children – Kestrels
