Nursery Applications

Nursery Applications are administered by the school, and the Admissions Criteria are applied as for the other year groups.  Application forms for September 2021 admissions are available from 1^st September 2020 and the closing date is 15^th January, 2021.  There is no right of appeal for nursery applications.  Offer letters will be posted on 16^th April 2021.

Please note that pupils do not automatically transfer from Nursery to Reception Year Group, gaining a place in the Nursery does not guarantee a place in the Reception Year Group and priority cannot be given to pupils who already attend our Nursery.

Admission Appeals Process

• If the admissions procedure was not carried out properly
• If the decision not to admit the child was not one which a reasonable admission authority would make in the circumstances of the case, or breaches the School Admissions Appeal Code.

Appeals for Reception Admissions for September 2021 must be made within four weeks of the National Offer Date (16^th April, 2021).  Appeal forms are available from the school office.

For further information about the Appeal Process, please visit www.gov.uk and view the School Admissions Appeal Code.

Withdrawing your child from school

Once your child has been admitted, the school will require 2 weeks written notice before being taken off roll.
