Admissions

Welcome to our Early Years!

 

Here at Oldhill Community School there is one Nursery and two Reception classes, we are joined altogether in a bright, large and inviting unit that enables us to socialise and learn altogether! We have our own separate Early Years outside area and garden to explore and learn in every day! Outside is a classroom too! With us, you will learn holistically, all our practice is based on the EYFS curriculum.

Children start secondary school

There are currently 10 places for children from Reception to Year 6.
Parents and professionals are welcome to visit the school to see the ARP setting. Visits are organised every last Thursday of the month. Admission in the school does not guarantee a place in the ARP and children who are already enrolled are not given any priority.
Parents can notify the Hackney Education that they would like a place. However children are not put on a waiting list or given places on first come first served basis.
To be considered for a place in a Provision, the pupil must:
• Have a Statement of Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) or be about to receive one
• Have a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder and meet other criteria set out by the Hackney Education ARP Allocation Panel.
• Placements are the decision of the Special Needs Advisory Panel. The ARP Allocations Panel is made up of representatives from Hackney Education, The Integrated Speech and Language Therapy Service, the Autism Resourced Provisions and Specialist School provision.
• If a place is offered the panel will try to meet parents’ preferred school with resourced provision but cannot guarantee to do so.
• When a child is given a place, the authority will notify parents and the teacher responsible will make contact with school in order to set up a transition program.
• The aim of the ARP is that the child will be able to access 80% in mainstream class by the end of Year 6.
