How to apply

Here is our nursery application form
Whilst the majority of applications are usually made between 1st September and 15th January to secure a nursery place for the following September, we are happy to accept applications all year round.
Next steps
If there is an oversubscription, we use specific criteria to decide which children should be offered places (after the admission of pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the Academy).
Here is our nursery admissions criteria.
You will be informed of the outcome of your application as soon as possible. The office will be happy to answer any questions
Please note that having a place in our nursery does not guarantee admission to the academy's reception class. A separate application must be made for a reception place.
