Welcome to Burnwood Nursery Schools Website
Burnwood Nursery was built in 1950 and has been providing the children of Chell Heath with exceptional quality Early Years education ever since.
- The nursery is a 60 place nursery school
- There is one intake of children each year in September, this is done over a few weeks to ensure all children settle. Children have to have had their 3 rd birthday by August 31 st to be admitted in the September for the following academic year.
- If the number of pupils seeking admission to the school exceeds the number of places available, then the following order of priority will be used;
- Pupil’s living within the catchment area of the school.
- Pupils who would be joining the Nursery and have an older brother or sister in attendance at the feeder School Burnwood Primary.
- Pupils who satisfy both of the following tests:
- they are distinguished from the great majority of other applicants either on medical grounds which are supported by a medical report, obtained from parents, specifying the medical priority of the child attending the preferred school compared with the normal catchment area school or by other exceptional circumstances material to the choice of school (i.e. the circumstances of the child, not the economic or social circumstances of the parent);
- they would suffer hardship if they were unable to attend the school.
- Other pupils arranged in order of priority according to how near their home addresses are to the school, measurements being by the nearest walking route.
