ADMISSIONS
Begin Your Journey Here
For all prospective families looking to join our community, welcome to our admissions process.
We welcome visits to our Nursery School. On your visit you will be accompanied by the HeadTeacher or a Senior Member of Staff who will show you our learning environments, talk to you about our Setting and how learning takes place. They will also be able to answer questions you may have. Please call the school office to book an appointment. Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic we are booking visits after Nursery and School hours ensuring we follow the safe visiting guidelines.
Applications
All families wishing to register their child for a place at the nursery or School must submit a completed application form to our School office. This can be done by calling in to the office to complete an initial enquiry form. We will then arrange an appointment to complete a registration pack prior to your child starting the setting.
