Admission information

Arrangements for admissions of children for the nursery

Children are admitted to the Nursery the term after their third birthday. The Education Authority allows us to take 26 children per session. You may put your child’s name on the waiting list at any time.

To put your child’s name on the Nursery waiting list please contact the school office on 01977 554185 or call into reception. You will need to complete the admissions forms and return them to us. Once a place has been offered, we will then contact you with dates for our induction meeting, nursery visits and home visits.

Sessions

Wherever possible, we try to give you a choice in your session time. We currently offer:

  • Five morning sessions per week (8.30am – 11.30am)
  • Five afternoon sessions per week (12:15pm – 3:15pm)

30 Hour places (8.35 am to 2.35pm) – Parents of children attending 30-hour placements also have the option to pay an additional fee to enable their child to stay until 3.15pm in line with the end of the school day,

If you would like further details or to visit school, please contact office on 01977 554185 or complete an electronic expression of interest form here.

Admissions to school – Full time education

If your child is transferring to Infant/Primary school from nursery or wishes to join us from another school, you will need to apply through Wakefield Admissions. This can be accessed below:

Once all the forms are returned or the date for final receipt has passed, the Education Department will decide if the school has room to take all the children who have applied. Our Pupil Admissions Number (PAN) is 45.
