Nursery

If you wish for your child to attend our Nursery from September 2025 please ensure an application is received by the School Office by 3.00pm on Tuesday 18th March 2025.

Nursery admissions are handled internally by the Nursery Admissions Panel consisting of school staff and Governors. The Admissions Panel will meet on Friday 21st March 2025 to review all applications for September 2025.

Children can be registered onto the waiting list from the age of 2 years.

Application forms and admissions policies are available from the school office or from the school website within the Parents tab downloadable forms. Completed forms should be handed into the school office during school hours with the child’s original birth certificate or passport to verify their date of birth.

Children are eligible for placement in Nursery the term after their third birthday. However, the majority of places are filled in September due to the admission of children into the Reception year. Parents are contacted as soon as a place is available 

If the waiting list is oversubscribed the admission criteria (see Nursery Admissions Policy) will be used.

Nursery transfers are only accepted in exceptional circumstances.

To be eligible for a place your child will need to be 3 years old before 31st August 2025.
