Nursery

Children are admitted in September following their 3rd birthday.  Places are part time, either five mornings or five afternoons per week. There is one intake into Nursery in September each year. 

The school operates a waiting list for the Nursery.  Applications for a Nursery place are accepted at any time throughout the year and from any age.  Length of time on the waiting list is not used for selection in the case of oversubscription.

Appeals

Looked after children, previously looked after children, and those allocated a place at the school in accordance with a Fair Access Protocol take precedence over those on a waiting list.
