Children usually join the Reception class in the September following their fourth birthday.
Again, application forms/online system are released by the Local Authority, usually in the October before your child is eligible to start.
To help parents with the process and to ensure that deadlines are not missed, school operates a 'Waiting List' system, whereby we will take your details and when the appropriate application round opens, we will contact you with the relevant information.
Please be aware that having a place in our Nursery does not guarantee your child a place in Reception. A separate Reception application needs to be made at the appropriate time.
