Nursery Applications
Before applying to school it is important you have thoroughly considered the pros and cons of ours and other settings. We believe a School Nursery can give our children an incredible start as it leads directly into how our school runs, the curriculum flows seamlessly throughout and children are familiar with adults in the next classes which helps them feel secure more quickly.
Until September 2021, all our Nursery provision was 15 hours (delivered as an AM or PM session 5 days per week). We still offer these 15-hour spaces, in addition to 30-hour spaces which are currently only available to eligible working families and differ from 2-year-old spaces offered in other settings.
Whether joining a 15 or 30 hour Nursery space, by joining our School Nursery, attendance is key. To us, Nursery is a vital start, it isn’t ‘only playing’ and it really does make a huge difference to every child.
To apply to our School Nursery, an application form is available from the School Office. It is important that you fill in all the information as if your child then starts school we can put all their key information onto the system quickly.
When returning your completed application form to the school office you will also need to bring your child’s birth certificate, and your most recent Council Tax bill as proof of address. If your child is adopted, fostered or in a different care arrangement, you will be asked for proof of this too.
Applications can be made at any time, however putting a child’s name down early/at birth no longer guarantees a place. Our school apply the same admission criteria as Walsall Council do for main school. These criteria are:
This criteria is also applied by Walsall Council for Reception admissions to our School.
