School Admissions
Our Nursery
The hours for our Nursery are in line with the rest of the school, enabling nursery-aged children to attend from 7.45am to 6pm each day.
The Nursery is overseen by our excellent, experienced and fully qualified Nursery Teacher, Miss French.
Nursery Admissions
The new year starts in September. Your child will be eligible if he/she is 2 (or above) by 31st August.
Parents of Nursery children who have expressed an interest in a place for their child in September 2020 will be contacted on 1st May, 2020, by email. Anyone who hasn't already contacted the School about a place for their child can email the school on:
admin@svps1.com
We hold an open evening in the Spring and would, under normal circumstances, love you to come and have a look around the Nursery and meet the staff. However, due to the current Corona virus restrictions, open evenings and visits are not taking place for the foreseeable future. (As at April 2020)
The Nursery admissions policy (see link below), will give you more information about our Nursery and what the options are for your child if you would like them to attend.
If you need any more information or have any questions please contact the school office either by email: admin@svps1.com
If you wish to be considered for a Nursery place in future years from September 2021 please complete the Expression of Interest form (link below) and we will contact you nearer the time of admission.
