Take part in research about submitting evidence to the Council
We are looking for Hackney residents to help us test a new digital service for submitting document evidence. This service allows residents to upload supporting evidence, such as proof of ID and address, in order to support access to Council services, including to support with school admissions applications.

Information about Getters Talmud Torah School
Getters Talmud Torah School closed on 19 July 2018. This is because the Department of Education has removed them from their register of independent schools.
As the local education authority for Hackney children, we offer every child of school age (4-17 years old) a place at a local authority run school. These places would be in different schools depending on the availability of spaces in each year group and any special educational needs your child may have. If you require a place for your Hackney child please contact: inyear@hackney.gov.uk or telephone 020 8820 7000, select option 3.
If you live in another borough, you should contact that local authority for information on places available.
