Admissions
RFHCS is designated as a 42 place school for children who are inpatients or day patients on the RFH paediatric wards or patients within the Royal Free Eating Disorder's Intensive Service.
We also offer a limited number of places on a number of alternative education programmes. These referrals and any additional referrals to our Outreach Teaching Service are made through a Camden School Inclusion Panel meeting every half-term.
The Terms of Reference for the panel are attached below.
There is more information about our alternative programmes in the 'LEARNING' section of this website.
