WEBSITE FAQs 

We are consulting on the proposal to open a new nursery provision in the 2025-26 academic year.

To do this the school needs to reduce its admission number from 20 to 15 for the Reception Year Group from September 2025, and to lower the Age Range of the school from 4 to 3. 

This proposal is being made in response to a fall in the birth rate, seen nationally and locally, and the linked projected fall in the number of pupils due to start school living in the catchment area.  It is also in response to a local request for a school based nursery provision in the village. 

In line with the requirements of the Admissions Code 2021, and the Departmental Guidance “Making Significant Changes to an Academy”, this consultation seeks to engage with parents and carers of children already at the school, as well as future parents of the school, the staff, other local admissions authorities and other interested parties. 

The consultation is open for four weeks, and will run from 5 June. Responses must be received by 3pm on 3 July 2024.   Please use this form for online responses.
