We hold an open day for prospective parents of Nursery and Reception children during October. Please keep checking our Home page for a date nearer the time.
Children are normally admitted to the Nursery in the September following their third birthday, and we have a small intake in January the following year to top up any vacant places. We do operate a waiting list: should you be interested in putting a child’s name on it, please see Mrs Joyce in the office.
Offers of places are usually made in Spring for the following September. All children are entitled to receive a full year’s part time nursery education, which is LA funded, and we also offer full time options (presently £99.40 per week) or extended part time options (presently £25.00 per week).
Children of working families could be entitled to 30 hours free funding. Please see the childcare choices website for more information on how to apply.
Nursery Application Form Please complete the details in the link to apply for a place in our nursery.
Children are admitted during the Autumn Term of the educational year (1st September to 31st August) in which they reach their fifth birthday.
Parents are requested to register on the citizen portal which is part of the Bolton local authority website. This should be done during the September of the year before the child is due to start Reception class. This is where you will be able to apply for a primary school place. Bolton LA will offer places during the spring term according to preferences expressed.
More detailed information regarding the Nursery Unit and the School are presented at meetings for new parents which are held in school prior to the child's admission. All children have the opportunity to visit the nursery with their parents before admission. Groups of children visit the Reception Class in the summer term prior to admission into the main school.
You have the statutory right to submit an appeal for a place at our school when your application has been unsuccessful. The deadline for reception class appeals for the September 2025 intake is Thursday 15 May 2025.
Appeals for in year admissions can be made at any time.
