About Our School
Lordship Farm opened as a County, co-educational day primary school in April 1973. The buildings were designed to house four open plan classrooms. Over the years the school has expanded with classrooms being added in 2000 and 2002. In September 1997 Lordship Farm Voluntary Aided Nursery School became a part of the school. In 2013, we opened a new Foundation Stage classroom and in 2026 we are opening a Specialist Resource Provision.
There is a large hall, equipped for PE which is used for assemblies, drama and music. There is a separate dining area, a computer suite , library and music rooms. Outside there is an extensive playing field, two playgrounds and an ‘outdoor’ classroom. At the south eastern boundary there is a large area set aside as a wild conservation area and bird hide.
The school is well resourced and all classes have access to IPads, Chromebooks, laptops and Interactive whiteboards.
As a nursery, infant and junior school, Lordship Farm caters for up to eight years of schooling. All parents are offered a September start to Nursery, with just one intake every year.
Lordship Farm has an admission number of 30 for Nursery and 60 within every other year group - this is known as the school's pan.
Our pupils come from the immediate area and beyond with 39% of pupils living outside of the immediate vicinity. We support all pupils with our inclusive approach and decisions about provision and policy are centred around our values of Kindness, Respect, Safety, Ambition and Connected. We expect every member of our school to abide by these core values including pupils, staff, parents and wider members of the school community.
We are a two-form entry school and whilst pupils are allocated a main class within their year group, they will be mixed regularly within their cohort of 60 and taught by both teachers within their year group. Teaching may be by year group, class, within a smaller group or at times one a one to one basis. Annual adjustments may be made to pupil's class registers as part of an inclusive review process.
Over the past five years Lordship Farm has achieved the Green Flag, a coveted award for schools who can demonstrate a true commitment to Eco-awareness, the Wellbeing Quality Mark, The Herts Shining Communication Award and we have staff recognised for their excellent in both local awards and as part of the Pearson National Teaching Awards.
Visits to the school are warmly welcomed by appointment for in-year applications and we hold an annual open evening for parents looking for places for nursery or reception.
At Lordship Farm we also have a school dog called Indie. Indie is the school's second dog and was born in November 2023.
