Our Pre-School


The main entry for children to start Pre-School is the term after they are 3 years old.  If places are available, younger children will be admitted in the term of their 3rd birthday.

Names can be placed on the pre-school waiting list in the September after a child’s first birthday and priority will be given to children by age.

We contact parents the term before children are due to start to offer a place and arrange inductions.
