Reception End of Year Expectations
Play Area
Our Reception and Nursery children have access to a separate play area with activity cabins, play equipment and its own pirate ship.
Nursery
We have Nursery Spaces available.
Children can begin in our Nursery in the term following their third birthday. We welcome children into Nursery in September, January and April (after the Easter holiday).
We offer 15 hours of funded early education to all three and four years olds, which can be taken in a morning or afternoon.
Morning sessions are 8:30am until 11:30 am.
Afternoon sessions are 12:20pm until 3:30pm.
We also offer 30 hours of extended early education if both parents' work. This is subject to eligibility and parents securing their funding code. If entitled to 30 hours, children attend nursery Monday to Friday, all day.
​Reception
We are a two form entry school, so we have two Reception classes. Admission into our Reception class is determined by Dudley Local Authority. Unfortunately, children attending our nursery do not automatically transfer into our Reception class and so parents must make an application to the local authority.
Primary School Admissions take place during the Autmun Term each year.
Please see the link below to ensure that you apply for your childs Reception school place. Admission applications must be submitted by 15th January 2026.
