Nursery admissions

Nursery admissions are dealt with by primary schools, children's centres and other nursery providers in Camden. Parents should apply to these directly.

Primary school reception admissions

We co-ordinate admission for reception places at Camden primary schools and provide advice on transfers, vacancies and appeals.

• You can apply online for a 2020 reception place from September 2019 until 15 January 2020
• Read our guide 'Starting School in Camden'.

Secondary school transfer

Camden Council co-ordinates the transfer from primary to secondary school for admission to all Camden state secondary schools. Find out more about Camden secondary schools in our annual guide.

• The deadline to apply for Year 7 places was 31 October 2019
• You can visit Camden secondary schools on their own open days and evenings - download a poster here (PDF)
• Meet the Parents also holds informal forums for primary parents at local schools across the borough.

In-year school admissions

An in-year application is when you make an application to a school outside of the normal admissions round. This is at a time when your child should already be attending school. Camden schools administer in-year admissions themselves.

Social or medical applications for Camden community schools
