Nursery schools and nursery and pre-reception classes

The age range for children to be admitted to a particular school can be found on the school profile link within the maps.

Parents must be aware that attendance at a nursery or pre-reception class attached to a primary school neither guarantees nor gives priority to a place at that school. To guarantee a place would discriminate against:

• younger children;
• children who are attending a nursery class in another school or setting; and
• children whose parents choose  not to use any of the pre school provision available.

Parents of children who attend a pre-reception or nursery class must apply if they want their child to be given a place in the school's reception class. That application will be considered alongside all other applications. We will apply our normal admission and appeal arrangements.

You will also find details concerning twins, triplets and siblings, and information about specialist provision here.
