School Admissions
Starting Primary School
We look forward to welcoming new pupils into our school and creating positive partnerships with our parents from the very outset of contact. Please find below the details for admitting pupils into Flanderwell Primary. We hope you will find them useful. If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to call the school on 01709 546771.
Changes to Admissions for our Nursery Provision
Starting school is a milestone, not only for your child but also for you.
From September 2026, we are able to increase our pupil numbers starting in our FS1/Nursery provision from 30 to 56. With this increased capacity, we are able to accept children onto our roll as soon as they turn 3. Currently our children join our nursery provision from the term after their 3rd birthday but from September, 3-year-olds can join our nursery as soon as they have turned 3.
If you would like your child to start with us as soon as they turn 3 you will need to apply for an eligibility code to be awarded the free funded hours.
Please see link below on how to apply

Sessions :
AM sessions are 8.40am until 11.45am
Full day sessions are 8.40am until 3:00pm
From the term after your child turns 3 they will automatically receive 15 hours of free childcare per week, with working parents being able to claim an additional 15 hours, if they meet the eligibility criteria (please see link above). Parents also have the option to self-fund (£5.37 per hour).
Optional additional items
School meals are charged at £2.50 per day however children can bring a packed lunch if you would rather this.
The cost of any visits/trips vary and parents would be informed of this, in advance of the visit.
