Secondary Admissions 2025
Verulam School is a high-achieving, 11-18 all boys’ school, that operates a mixed Sixth Form. We are our own admitting authority but Hertfordshire LA manages the transfer and entry to Verulam School on our behalf.
This part of our website deals with how you can apply to join Year 7 Verulam School in September 2025. Applications for Year 7 secondary school places to start in September 2025 are now live via Hertfordshire County Council here.
