Nursery Admissions | Jennett's Park

Deciding which is the right school to apply to for your child’s education is very important. We are a school right in the centre of Jennett’s Park housing development.

As a Voluntary Aided school, all admissions into our nursery classes are made by the governing body against clear admissions criteria.

The Nursery Admissions Policy for academic year 2027-2028 will be available here in the Autumn Term 2026.

We arrange regular tours of our Nursery with our Early Years Leader Miss Allen. Please contact the school office to book your place or to receive an application form.

Oversubscription criteria

Our Nursery is very popular and is over-subscribed with a waiting list in place that is updated regularly. Whilst we try to meet parental preferences regarding morning or afternoon sessions, we cannot guarantee these. Where there is over-subscription, we give priority according to our published criteria in our Nursery Admissions Policy.

Applications received after the closing date will be considered as late applications and discussed at the next timetabled Governors Admissions Committee, which usually take place in September, January, May and June.

Appeals

Please note that there is no established appeals process for the Nursery class, and numbers are strictly limited due to Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Welfare Requirements.
