Admissions

Admissions to F1 are processed through the school. Parents need to complete an Application for Nursery Form, which is available from the school office and return the completed form with their child’s Birth Certificate. A place is normally three terms attendance, commencing in the Autumn Term one year before entry to reception/Foundation Stage 2. Children enter Foundation Stage 1 (Nursery) at the beginning of the school year after the child has turned 3. All children start in FS1 at the start of the school year in September and they attend 5 morning or 5 afternoon sessions a week (15 hours per week). All applications will be considered at the end of May and all successful parents will be contacted about transition in the summer term. Our FS1 PAN is for 15 children in the morning and 15 in the afternoon. We often have more than 30 applications for our FS1, therefore we follow the Local Authorities Admissions criteria.
