Nursery Admissions
Children can join our nursery in the term after they turn three. At any time before this, you can put your child’s name on our waiting list. To do this, please contact the Academy on 01623 635928. You will be contacted the term before your child starts with details about transition visits and their start at our nursery.
Please visit our Nursery page for further information.
Appeals
If a parent’s/carer’s application for a place at the Academy is unsuccessful, they have the right of appeal to an Independent Appeals Panel.
Parents/carers should submit their appeal, in writing and giving their reasons for appeal, direct to the Academy.
Please be aware that the regulations under Section I of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 limit the size of an infant class (a class in which the majority of children will reach the age of 5, 6 or 7 during the school year) to 30 pupils per class teacher. Admissions over this limit are only permitted in very limited circumstances.
