Applying for a Nursery place at one of our Trust Schools:

For our school’s who have a Nursery Class you can view their Nursery Admissions Policy on their School website (see links below). Nursery admissions are dealt with by the individual school, if you would like to apply to a Victorious Academies Trust school for a Nursery Place, please complete the Nursery Expression of Interest Form (click here) and email or post direct to the school (details below). Nursery children usually start school the September after they turn 3 years old. If there are places available some schools offer an additional January and April intake where the child would start earlier than September, pupils are eligible to start the term after they turn 3 years old. For more information please contact the individual school. Please note that unfortunately, attendance at a Trust School Nursery does not guarantee a place in Reception at that school.
