Admissions

At Kingsmead we follow the local authority admissions procedure. All admissions (except for Nursery places) are managed by Hackney Education.  More information can be found on the Hackney Education website. In-year admissions are also managed by Hackney Education but the school welcomes parents who wish to tour the school or make enquiries about places in specific year groups.

Nursery Applications

We offer nursery places for children aged 2–3 and 3–4 years. Applications can be made directly to the school by completing an application form and returning this to the office. Please contact the school office to get an application form.

The school will also need to see the following original documents:

Proof of birth (Passport or Birth Certificate) and proof of address

  • Free Places: All 3-year-olds are entitled to a free part-time place from the term after their 3rd birthday.

  • 30 Hours Funding: Working families can apply for 30 hours of free childcare for 2–4 year olds at https://www.gov.uk/30-hours-free-childcare. Check your eligibility and apply online.

  • Application Deadlines: Apply by the term before your child turns 2 (for a 2–3 year old place) or before they turn 3 (for a 3–4 year old place).

  • EY Code for 2-Year-Olds: Families receiving benefits may be eligible for a free part-time place for 2-year-olds. Find out more and apply for an EY code here.

  • Paid Places: If you are not eligible for funding, you may pay for a nursery place. Contact the school for fee information.

 

TAX FREE CHILDCARE SCHEME - If you are a working family, you may be eligible to pay for your child’s nursery and wraparound care fees (including breakfast club,  playcentre, and activity clubs) through the Tax-Free Childcare scheme. With this scheme for every £8 you pay in, the government will pay £2.

You can find more information about the Tax Free Childcare Scheme on the Wraparound care page of our website.

For further information please phone the school office or e-mail the school on admin@kingsmead.hackney.sch.uk . We are happy to help.

 

Once children have been offered a place at Kingsmead, families will be invited to complete admissions paperwork and discuss their child's needs at the school.
