Safeguarding

The Safeguarding Protocol commits to providing a safe, collaborative and caring environment and to protecting the physical and mental health of all students. All adults on campus who work with or around students obtain a certificate of good conduct (VOG). Safeguarding education is developmentally appropriate, and staff are trained to respond to concerns. Safeguarding concerns are reported through the Safeguarding app in Edukey; the school designates safeguarding leads (DSLs) to coordinate action, which may involve external agencies such as Veilig Thuis or the Crisis Intervention Team. If safety is compromised, the DSL can prevent a child from leaving the school grounds.

Admissions

1. Priority for admission at ESH is given to Category I pupils (children of employees of European institutions and agencies, including the European Commission, European Parliament, ECB, EIB, and others). Category I pupils have a reserved place. All other applicants are Category III and may be admitted subject to eligibility under international school regulations and availability. 2. Applications are submitted through OpenApply. Applicants create an account to track status and upload documents. Standard documents include a copy of the pupil's passport and school reports from the past two years; Category III applicants may need proof of eligibility for international education and a Pupil Information Request Form from the current school; a non-refundable €300 registration fee is payable with the application. 3. After submission, the directorate reviews the application. Via OpenApply, applicants receive an update that may include a placement offer, a request for more information, a meeting request, or placement on the waiting list (Category III). For Secondary applications, language and mathematics tests may be scheduled for pupils not transferring from another European School. 4. If a place is offered and accepted, enrolment letters are issued to sign. Class allocation, timetables, and introduction days (where applicable) are communicated later. 5. When to apply and processing times: Early Years applications are accepted from age 2; to start at the beginning of the school year, apply by April 1. Applications after April 1 may be delayed, and joining during the year should be submitted as soon as possible. Processing typically takes up to 2-3 weeks after documents are submitted for the current year; Category III applications may take longer depending on availability and testing requirements.

Notes on billing practice
- The published school fees are for the 2026–27 academic year and the amounts and dates above reflect the school's published schedule for that year. Where mid‑year joining occurs the published pro‑rata amounts above apply. For new pupils an invoice schedule is issued with the offer of a place and must be followed for payment timing.

Food Options

Lunch is eaten in the classroom under lunchtime supervision. Lunchtime supervisors supervise the children during the lunch break as they eat their lunches in the classroom and, if weather allows, outside; a fee is collected by the Overblijf Committee HSV at the start of the school year.
