Admissions and New Starters

A very warm welcome to Harpur Hill Primary School and Nursery.  Our school caters for children aged 2 to 11 years.  We have our own Governor Run Nursery, Breakfast and After School Club - all on the same site.  If you are new to the area, or live locally and would like your child to start Nursery or Reception, please get in touch and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have and arrange a visit.  Prospective parents are always welcome to meet with the Headteacher, Mrs Giliker, for a tour of the school.  Please phone or email to arrange this.

Nursery

Our Governor Run Nursery admits children from the age of two.  The starting points for Nursery children are: September, January and after Easter.

If you would like a nursery place for your child, please contact the school office on 01298 23261 or e-mail info@harpurhill.derbyshire.sch.uk. More information about our Nursery can be found in the Nursery section.

Reception

Children usually start Reception in the September prior to their 5th birthday.

Derbyshire Local Authority allocates places at Harpur Hill Primary School for Reception children. Parents are required to apply for a place for their child to start Reception using the Derbyshire online admissions process: www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions

The window for applying for places opens in November and closes mid January (prior to the September when children are due to start).
