We have a 26 place Nursery which is open mornings only from 08:50–11.50, 5 days a week and has one intake a year.
Our Nursery is well established with experienced, caring staff who want to give your child a flying start to their school career!
The spacious Nursery has recently been refurbished and provides a highly stimulating and supportive environment where children flourish.
The Nursery class, in common with all classes in the school, plays a full part in the life of the school community. Nursery children regularly visit the main school building and participate fully in many areas of school life such as school assemblies, class visits, performances and productions, and the children are very familiar with all school staff. Reception and Nursery staff work very closely together and so there is a very smooth transition to Reception.

Appeals
If you have not been offered a place following an in-year application, the law entitles you to appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel. This panel is completely independent of the school and the Local Authority. In accordance with the 2022 School Admission Appeals Code Appeals, the admission authority and appeal panels have elected for all admissions appeals to be held online.
If you wish to appeal, please use the links below to complete your appeal online.
Please do NOT use ANY other appeal form or send your form to your local authority. It is highly recommended that you download the explanatory booklet about appeals which you should read before you complete the appeal form.
If your appeal is for years Reception, year 1 or year 2, you are strongly advised to read the section on Key Stage 1 appeals on page 18.
You should include any evidence or supporting material with your appeal form and you MUST state the grounds of your appeal at the time you lodge your appeal form. Your appeal form will not be accepted unless you give the grounds of your appeal. You may appeal for more than one school.
Please note that the online form will ask you to download two utility bills dated in the last THREE months. If you do not have access to a scanner, please take two photographs using a mobile phone and upload the photographic files.
