2. Children with exceptional / medical / educational needs
3. Children of staff at the nursery/school

7. Children who turn 3 years old between - 1st January 2022 and 31st March 2022

Nursery Admissions Criteria for 2 year olds

Limited spaces are available for 2 year olds and top priority will be given to those children who qualify for FEET funding. In the event of over subscription, applications will be considered in accordance with the same criteria as 3 & 4 year olds followed by nearest to school.

Once a two year old is placed on role at Hale Academy Nursery they will automatically be entitled to a three year old place and the number of three year old places will reduce.

It should be noted that admission to Hale Academy Nursery does not guarantee admission to the Reception class in the main school. Applications for Reception must be made separately and submitted by the statutory deadline in order to be considered.

Attending our Nursery does however help those children who do come to the main school with the transition and allows the children to become familiar both with the staff and surroundings as they start their Reception year.
