School Admissions

Nursery

Reception

Children are eligible for a nursery place at the beginning of the term after their third birthday.  The start of the terms are usually September, January and April.

From 6th October, 2025, the schools admissions team are handing over Nursery applications to schools.

The closing date for Jan 2026 and April 2026 places is: 22nd July 2025, with decision letters being sent to parents on 23rd Sept 25.

Late applications should still be sent to the Local Authority, in the period leading up the 3rd Oct, 2025. After this date, please contact school directly. 

Children usually join the Reception class in the September following their fourth birthday.

Application forms/online system are released by the Local Authority, usually in the October before your child is eligible to start.

To help parents with the process and to ensure that deadlines are not missed, school operates a 'Waiting List' system, whereby we will take your details and when the appropriate application round opens, we will contact you with the relevant information.

Please be aware that having a place in our Nursery does not guarantee your child a place in Reception.  A separate Reception application needs to be made at the appropriate time.
