Nursery
Parents may register a child, with the school, when he/she has reached the age of two years. Children are admitted to the Nursery/Foundation Stage 1 after their 3rd birthday, if spaces are available. Admission to the Nursery does not guarantee a place in the main school (Foundation Stage 2) at the age of 4 years.
If your child is under 3 please bring their birth certificate to the school office where they will be placed onto the nursery waiting list.
When a place becomes available you will be contacted by the school.
Admission arrangements for Foundation Stage 2 are in line with those of the Local Authority.
The Local Authority allocates places on a priority basis:
- Children living in the school priority area.
- Children living outside the area with brothers and sisters at the school.
- Children living outside the priority area if places are available.
If your child is 4 years old and is staring full time school for the first time click here.
