The Nursery currently has places for up to 30 children. If there are more applications than places available, the Headteacher will decide on the basis of the following considerations: Children in Public Care, also known as Looked after Children in care of the local authority and children who have been adopted. Children living closest to the school. Distance will be measured 'as the crow flies'. Accessibility by car or public transport will be disregarded. Having a brother or sister at the school does not give automatic entry. The preservation of a balance in the number of girls and boys, and a balance of ages. The exceptional educational, medical or social needs of the child. In exercising judgement on this, the Headteacher will consider the child’s cognitive, physical and linguistic needs, as well as family circumstances. Evidence must be provided by professionals, such as social workers, health visitors or education welfare officers, in order for the Headteacher to take these needs into consideration.
