WEST HEATH NURSERY SCHOOL
Admissions
The Local Authority (LA) is responsible for the Admission Policy for nursery schools and classes.
The LA reserves the right to give priority for admission to a child with exceptional social, medical or educational needs. Any full time places are allocated using the LA criteria.
Most children are admitted in September after a child's third birthday. If there are places available throughout the year, children who are 'rising threes' and awaiting a place, will be admitted following the criteria.
Children are entitled to a part time place which consists of 15 hours per week. These hours are divided into two full days and one half day on a Wednesday.
When a nursery has more applications for part time places than there are places available, the following criteria shall apply:
-
Children who are Looked After (LAC) or Previously Looked After (PLAC) by Birmingham City Council
- Children who live nearest to the school by straight line measurement to one fixed point in the school.
