Nelson Infant School; change of age range from 4-7 to 3-7 years by adding a nursery provision

Overview

Evolution Academy Trust are proposing to seek approval from the Department for Education on a plan to change the lower age limit at Nelson Infant School, Northumberland Street, Norwich NR2 4EH from 4-7 to 3-7 years. The school is looking to run a nursery which accepts 3 and 4 year olds. The nursery will run am and pm sessions. In addition to this, the school will make changes to our breakfast club provision, opening this up to nursery aged children as well. Finally, they will operate an after-school club for pupils of the school and the nursery. This provision will allow wrap around care for our families from 7.30am – 5.30pm for all pupils.

The Admissions Code of Practice 2012 requires an Admissions Authority to consult each time it proposes to make significant changes to its admissions arrangements. Evolution Academy Trust is the Admissions Authority for the family of schools within the Trust and, as such, administers the admission arrangements on behalf of Nelson Infant School.

Full details of this consultation can be found in the letter below.
