 The school’s nursery admission criteria will be used to decide which children can be offered a place.

These criteria are as follows:

1. Children who are looked after, or who have an allocated social worker who has provided written support of the application.

• Children who are recommended for a place at the school by the Disability or locality MAT (Multi-Agency Team).

3. Children with professionally supported educational, social or medical needs.
4. Children with a brother or sister currently attending the school and who will still be at the school when the child is admitted.

• Children who live nearest to the school on the basis of distance between the child’s home and the school, measured by a straight line.

30 hours system
Children can attend fulltime under the government 30-hour system. This is only for children where each parent (or a lone parent in a lone family) earns an average, a weekly minimum equivalent to 16 hours at National minimum wage or National living wage and less than £100,000 per year.

To find out if you are eligible you will need to fill in an online questionnaire on the application on HMRC site which is now available.

If you are eligible you will receive an eligibility code (a DERN). You will need to present this to the school before we can offer you a full time place.

If you are applying for a fulltime place you will have to provide us with your DERN code on the application form. A place can only be confirmed once we have checked your DERNs eligibility.
