We have two separate sets of admissions, one for Nursery and one for Reception. Below you will find more information about each:
Nursery Admissions
Children are eligible for a nursery place at the beginning of the term after their third birthday. The start of the terms is usually September, January and April.
Application forms for places are usually released by the Local Authority, together with an online application system, well in advance of prospective start dates.
Reception Admissions
Children usually join the Reception class in the September following their fourth birthday. Again, application forms/online system are released by the Local Authority, usually in the October before your child is eligible to start.
Please be aware that having a place in our Nursery does not guarantee your child a place in Reception.
A separate Reception application needs to be made at the appropriate time.
