Admission to Nursery
Admission to Nursery
Children will be admitted to the Nursery Class for their 'Nursery Year' in the September following their third birthday.
To apply for a September 2026 start, your child must have been born between 1st September 2022 and 31st August 2023.
Many children begin their school journey in this way and the impact an early start has can be very positive both academically and socially.
You can contact the school office to register your child's details with us in advance and we will then contact you when it is time for applications to be made. Please contact Mrs Sarah Riley in the school office by email or telephone to register your child.
