Jewish day schools all require the completion of a CRP (Certificate of Religious Practice) form for admission which is dependent on collecting points for service attendance, Jewish education or volunteering in the Jewish community. Each school has its own unique requirements which you can find on the admissions section of the school’s website.

We are very happy to help you collect CRP points to confirm you have attended services and activities at EHRS.

Collection starts 25 April, 2025 for both primary and secondary school applications.

The deadline for applications is:

• October 31, 2025 for secondary school applications
• January 15, 2026 for primary school applications
• Sixth form applications are due in mid to late January but can differ between schools

Please note that Admissions and CRP requirements differ from school to school. It is very important to check each school’s website for their admissions policy to understand what is required.

In summary:
1. We ask you to register with the EHRS Education team (education@ehrs.uk) that you are collecting points through EHRS and then we will help you keep a record of these attendances. We will need your child’s name and DOB.
2. You will be assigned an individual record card for your child, which you will collect stickers for services attended. This will be given to you at your first attendance, then kept at the Shul for safe keeping! This will also be engaging for children to collect and fill up their records.
3. When you have attended the required number of services, or wish to have your child’s attendance of Orot, Nagila or your volunteering confirmed please contact us to organise your meeting with one of our clergy team.
4. The final stage is to meet with one of our clergy team  who will use the record card to confirm your attendances required by the schools, and look forward to supporting you and signing your CRP forms. You will need to download and print these from the school’s websites and bring them to your meeting with the clergy.

Kuddle Up Shabbat once a month on a Friday at 16:15
Friday night OR Saturday morning service in person (18:30 on a Friday and 10:30 on a Shabbat morning)
