How to join us.
Most children join us in nursery, but many other
children also join in different year groups throughout the school year.
Free Education and Childcare
We are delighted to be able to offer free education and childcare for 2 year-olds and 30 hours’ free childcare to the parents of 3 and 4 year olds. The funding is provided by the government. Please see below:
Admissions to Nursery
The nursery provision is available for 2 to 4 year-olds.
We currently offer either a morning or an afternoon intake who will all receive 15 hours of our provision. We also offer 30 hours a week to eligible parents so children can remain at Nursery for the duration of the school day with a packed lunch.
Admissions to Reception Class
Admissions to our Reception class are administered by Sunderland City Council. Their Admissions Policy can be found in the Admission Information & Links below:
