term after their third birthday.
Applying for a place
Admissions to English medium community
Nursery Schools and Units are managed by the LA. Parents should
approach their preferred nursery in the first instance, who will
forward details to the LA. The School Admissions section will then
send an application pack to parents at the appropriate time, which
includes an application form to be completed and
returned. Parents who would like an application pack for
nursery education for September 2011 to July 2012 should now
contact the admissions section or alternatively follow the link
below to download application
form.
In the event of over-subscription,
places are allocated in accordance with the Councils' admission
criteria with priority given to catchment children. Full
details of admission criteria are listed in our Parental Guide to
Schools Admissions (English
or Welsh).
When applications are
considered, no account is taken of which infant or primary school
the child is likely to attend subsequently, or how long the child's
name has been on a waiting list.
At present, the Welsh Medium Primary
and Church-aided schools will continue to deal with their own
admissions to nursery, however please be advised that you will
receive application packs when your child is approaching full time
education to allow you to apply for your child's reception
place.
We will take your child's details from
the age of 2 years and add them to our central database, in order
for them to be included in the distribution of application
packs. Please do not register your child if they
are not yet 2 years old. To register,
please complete details here. You may still contact
the school of your choice and also leave your child's details with
them. To find out your catchment nursery please enter your postcode
into the Your Vale box here, or if you have any further queries
regarding early years education, please contact:
