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 provide nursery spaces for 30 children. We are able to accept children onto our roll as soon as they turn 3 depending on space. Currently our children join our nursery provision from the term after their 3rd birthday but from September 2026, 3-year-olds can join our nursery as soon as they have turned 3.
All children over the age of 3 are entitled to 15 hours funding for early years education with some families qualifying for an additional 15 hours if they meet the eligibility criteria (please see link below). Parents also have the option to self-fund (£5.37 per hour) for the additional hours if they require it.
