Admissions to Nursery
On request, parents will be given a Nursery Application Form to complete. This should be handed in at school with proof of the child’s date of birth. The child’s details will then be entered onto a pre-admission list for the September after they are three. All parents must complete an application form even if the child already has a sibling in school.

Oversubscription
The oversubscription criteria for when a school is full is:
Category 1 - children who are looked after by a local authority and children who were previously looked after by a local authority. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order).
Category 2 - children with exceptional medical/social needs.
Category 3 - children with a sibling at the school.
Category 4 – all other children.
Waiting Lists
If the classes are full in Nursery, the school will hold waiting lists. The Local Authority will hold waiting lists for other school places.
Waiting lists will be held in criteria order according to the oversubscription criteria. Waiting lists will not be operated on a “first come, first served” basis. The amount of time an applicant is on a waiting list will not affect their position on it.
