Admissions Policy
Hurlingham is a co-educational, non-selective school and we welcome all
children, irrespective of their ethnic origin.
There is no entrance exam or interview but we do request that children
have a conversational ability in the English language. Places are offered
in order of registration, although siblings of children already in the
school, and those living within 1.2km of the school, are given priority.
The school’s policy is to apply our admission criteria to all potential
pupils regardless of any disability, subject to its obligation to make
reasonable adjustments not to put any disabled potential pupil at a substantial
disadvantage compared to any pupil who is not disadvantaged because of
his or her disability.
Prior to being offered a place for their child, all parents will be required
to complete a ‘pupil questionnaire’ requesting information
regarding any significant dietary, medical or special educational needs
in respect of their child. In assessing any prospective pupil the school
may take any such advice and require any such assessments as it regards
appropriate.
Above all the school must feel that it will be able to educate and develop
the prospective pupil to the best of his or her potential and in line
with the general standards achieved by the pupil’s peers.
Religion
Hurlingham is a school with a Christian ethos. Christian prayers are said and Christian festivals celebrated. However, we welcome children of all faiths and respect and learn about and from, all the major world religions to promote better understanding and tolerance, so that children need not fear the unknown and may grow up with empathy for people of different faiths in our multi cultural society.
 Sibling
Policy
Siblings are automatically given a place provided that they are registered.
We rely on you to give us details of your new babies no later than the
1st September of the year before they are due to start. Siblings registered
after this date cannot be guaranteed a place.
School visits
Prospective parents are welcome to visit us for a short tour around the
school with the owner and an opportunity to meet the headmistress.
Appointments should be arranged with the School
Office .
We have an underground car park which visitors are welcome to use.
Registration
You can register your child at any age from birth.
The registration fee of £65 is non-refundable. Because we are non-selective
we recommend you register your child as early as possible. The admissions
secretary will also be able to advise parents on any occasional places
which might be available for children in the years above reception.

Firm offer
Once you have registered you may be offered a firm place in the Autumn
Term the year before your child is due to start. Subsequently, we require
a non-refundable deposit of one term's fees payable in two installments,
on acceptance of a place, which is returned by cheque after a pupil has
left the school (less any deductions for outstanding amounts owing), providing
our conditions regarding notice of withdrawal have been met.
In order to secure a place for your child you will need to send the first
half of the deposit together with the signed form of acceptance to the
admissions department by the appointed date. It should be noted that the
deposit is non-returnable in the event that you do not ultimately take
up the place.
