Nursery Admissions
Admissions to Nursery are handled by the school directly in accordance to guidance from London Borough of Newham. Children are taken into the Nursery from the age of 3 years old. The usual point of entry is at the beginning of the academic year in September. If places are available then entry may be possible after the October half term and at the beginning of the Spring or Summer Terms.
Applications are available from the school office or can be found below. This form must be returned with a proof of your child's date of birth (preferably the birth certificate) and two proofs of address dated within the last three months. Without these your application will not be taken.
You can apply up to a year in advance. If you do this please do keep us informed of any change of address or contact details - including if you move out of the area and will therefore no longer need the place.
