ADMISSIONS
NURSERY ADMISSIONS
Applications for Nursery places are made via school by returning a Nursery Application form. Children are eligible to start nursery the term after their third birthday.
At St. Stephen's, we offer the following sessions for Nursery:
AM Nursery - 8.45am-11.45am
PM Nursery - 12.30pm - 3.30pm
All Day Nursery - 8.45am-3.30pm (Monday – Thursday) and 8.45am-11.45am on Fridays*
*This offer is only for those who are eligible for the government's 30 hours free childcare scheme. Children can stay until 3.30pm on Fridays at a charge of £25.00 per session. This covers the additional supervision costs incurred, that aren’t covered by the 30-hour offer.
SCHOOL ADMISSIONS
We are delighted that you are considering our school for your child.
Admissions to schools are made via the Local Authority that the child resides in. Application schedules are in place for the following:
-
Reception Class - deadline is usually in the January prior to the September start.
-
Middle and High School - deadline is usually in the October prior to the September start.
If you are applying outside these windows, you will need to complete an ‘In-Year Transfer’ application. Families applying for an in-year place at St Stephen’s will be invited to visit the school and our staff will work with them to ensure that new pupils settle in confidently and smoothly.
