Nursery admissions

The school is the admissions authority for our Nursery. We follow the same admissions criteria as the Local Authority when offering the 52 places and abide by the criteria in the case of over subscription that of:

 

1. Children in Care or children who were previously in Care but immediately after being in Care became subject to an adoption, residence, or special guardianship order
2. Children who currently attend the Nursery
3. Siblings at the infants' or junior school
4. Children living closest to the school as measured in a direct line from the home address to the school address

 

Children are admitted into the Nursery class after their third birthday with the majority starting in the September of that year. Any remaining spaces are filled using the criteria above and for those who are three after 31 August if it is felt that they would benefit from the provision offered. Please contact us on 0117 903 1435 or school@stannesinfants.co.uk

 

Application forms are available from the school office. The deadline for applications is 1 April with places being offered on or around 1 May in accordance with Local Authority guidance.
