Admission to Nursery
Children are admitted to the Nursery Class in the September following their third birthday, and in accordance with the Admissions Policy set out by the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea.
The Nursery currently has places for up to 26 children. If there are more applications than places available, the Headteacher will decide on the basis of the following considerations:
- Priority will be given to children who are in the care of the local authority, who have a statement of special educational needs or who have an Education, Health and Care Plan which names the school.
- The preservation of a balance between boys and girls and the number of three and four year olds already in the class.
- Children living closest to the school.
- Measurement of the distance will be over the shortest reasonable walking route; accessibility by private car or public transport will be disregarded
- The exceptional educational, medical and social needs of the child. In exercising judgement on the exceptional educational, medical and social needs of individual applicants, the Headteacher will have regard to the child’s cognitive, physical or linguistic needs and to family circumstances. The Headteacher will also have regard to professional and independent advice offered by social workers, health visitors and educational welfare officers and the availability of places at other under-five facilities in the area.
Please note that:
- Having a brother or sister at the school does not give automatic entry.
- There is no automatic transfer from the Nursery to the Reception classes – a separate application should be made with your local authority.
