Admissions
If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below:
Early Years Part-time Admissions Policy
The Governing Body is responsible for part-time admissions to the school’s Early Years Lower Foundation Stage (Nursery) and agrees to follow the Early Years Part-time Admissions Policy set by Wakefield Council. The school has a 78 place nursery. This means that a maximum of 39 part-time children can be admitted per session. If you would like to apply for a place for your child to attend Flanshaw School Nursery, please read the information in our Lower Foundation Admissions Policy below.
From September 2024, we will be offering a limited number of 30 hour places in our nursery for working parents. Details of how to apply for your 30 hour code are below.
gov.uk/check-eligible-free-childcare-if-youre-working
We will need to verify your code before a place is offered. You will need to renew your code every 3 months. Failure to do so will result in your place being withdrawn.
The nursery day for children attending 30 hours will be:-
Monday to Friday
08:45 to 14:45
If you wish your child to attend until 15:15, the cost will be £12.90 per week, payable in advance.
Children attending 30 hours will need to bring a packed lunch, school dinners will not be available for nursery children.
Charges will still apply if your child is ill or on holiday.
Please contact the school office if you would like to be considered for a 30 hour place.
We currently have places in our setting for 3 and 4 year olds - pupils usually start with us the term after they turn 3. We have three intakes to our lower foundation setting each year in September, January and after Easter. Please complete an application form and return to the school reception or email it to reception@flanshawjin.co.uk to place your child on the waiting list.
