Admissions
At Gayhurst 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 Admissions
Admissions to the Nursery are managed by the Office Manager at Gayhurst. We currently offer 3 year old provision in our nursery. Applications can be made directly to the school by completing the application (see PDF below) and returning this to the office.
The school will also need to see the following original documents: Proof of birth (Passport or Birth Certificate) & 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 3–4 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 3 (for a 3–4 year old place).
- 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
Working families may be able to pay nursery and wraparound care fees (including breakfast club, playcentre, and activity clubs) through the Tax-Free Childcare scheme. For every £8 you pay in, the government adds £2. More information is available on our Wraparound Care page.
If you need further information or help regarding an application please phone the school office or e-mail the school on admin@gayhurst.hackney.sch.uk . We are happy to help.
Once children have been offered a place at Gayhurst families will be invited to complete admissions paperwork and discuss their child's needs at the school.
