We are excited to announce that starting September 2024, we will be offering 30 hours of care for our Nursery children. Our nursery currently operates from 8.55 to 11.55am every day, and now, with the introduction of 'Manor Minis', we can extend the children's hours within the nursery classroom to either 2.55 or 3.15pm.

'Manor Minis' will provide extended care and enrichment activities, ensuring a seamless and nurturing experience for your child. For more details, please refer to the 'Manor Minis' prospectus or contact the school to arrange a visit or to get further information.

Over-subscription

When applications for Nursery are oversubscribed given any of the above conditions, the following criteria will apply in order to decide who will enter the school:

1. Highest priority will be given to looked-after children and all previously looked-after children.
2. Priority will next be given to children with siblings at the school. Siblings include step siblings, foster siblings, adopted siblings and other children living permanently at the same address. Priority will not be given to children with siblings who are former pupils of the school.
3. Priority will next be given to children on the basis of social or medical need. The medical or social grounds must relate to the child and the school will require supporting evidence. For example: Medical evidence from a medical professional or social evidence from an appropriate professional (e.g. a social worker) should state why the school is the only one that can meet the child’s needs and will be subject to review by the Governing Body.
4. Distance from the school. This will be measured in a straight line from a designated point of the home address to a designated point of the school using the local authority’s GIS software, with priority given to those living closest.
