Admissions Policy

To Nursery Class 2020/2021

In September 2020, the Nursery Class will be admitting pupils whose date of birth is between 1st September 2016 and 31st August 2017. Admission forms are available from the school. Places are allocated in early April. Later offers of places can be made if there are any remaining spaces after the April admissions are confirmed.

Provision is offered for either:



15 hours = five mornings or five afternoons per week



30 hours = five days a week, all day.

Children are admitted to the school’s nursery class according to the following criteria:-

Children who have a statement of special educational needs. Generally children who live in the school’s defined area who also hold a statement of special educational needs will be given priority over other applicants. Where the school has specialist provision not available elsewhere applications will be considered from outside the school’s defined area and, if appropriate, places will be allocated.
Children who are Looked After by the Local Authority.
Children who have a parent currently employed at the school, who has worked at the school for at least a year.
Children who live in the defined area and have a sibling on roll at the time of admission. Proof of residence may be required.
Children who live in the defined area served by the school. Proof of residence may be required.
Children who live outside the defined area and have a sibling on roll at the time of admission.
Children who live outside the defined area of the school.

In the event of over-subscription, places will be allocated according to the proximity of the child’s home to school as measured by the nearest available route.

* The school’s ‘defined area’ is the Loughton grid square and the southern part of the Great Holm grid square comprising of the streets south of Attingham Hill and Highgrove Hill.

In the event of over-subscription, places will be allocated according to the proximity of the child’s home to school as measured by the nearest available route.
