We are excited to share with you our 'virtual tour' of Camps Hill Primary School & Acorns Preschool. Enjoy taking a peek into 'a day in the life' at our school.
DETERMINED ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS
All schools must have admission arrangements that clearly set out how children will be admitted, including the criteria that will be applied if there are more applications than places at the school.
Admission arrangements are determined by admitting authorities. Camps Hill is an academy within The Claxton Trust, and the trust has delegated responsibilities for admissions to local governing body level, so the school is its own admitting authority.
Admission arrangements are described as 'determined' when they are agreed and published by the admitting authority i.e. the governing body at Camps Hill.
Our determined admission arrangements are published below:
ACORNS PRE-SCHOOL
Acorns pre-school is for children from the age of 2 to 3 years.
CAMPS HILL NURSERY
Most children join the Nursery class at the start of the school year in which they have their fourth birthday. All children will be offered 15 hours free provision and some parents will qualify for a further 15 hours childcare, known as 30 hours funding. For more information and to find out if you are eligible visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk.
RECEPTION CLASS ADMISSIONS
All applications for Reception place are handled by the local authority. You can find more information on the Herts County Council website.
IN-YEAR ADMISSIONS
My child is currently attending another school or nursery and I want to move them to Camps Hill.
