Nursery places:

52 part-time places

Our school has a nursery class for 3/4 year olds, providing for 52 part-time places. If you would like to apply for a place for your child in our nursery class, please contact the school for further information, a copy of the application form, and the timescales for applying.

If we receive more applications than there are places available at that time in our nursery class, we use the same admissions criteria as we use for Reception admissions to prioritise applications. We also offer day care provision and for a small fee, you can book additional sessions for your child, subject to availability.

Parents should be aware that attending the nursery class does not mean your child will automatically transfer to the reception class at this school. You will still need to apply at the appropriate time for a place for your child in a reception class, using the council's common application form, as described in this prospectus.

Enhanced learning (SEN)

Enhanced learning provision is a term that is used to describe specialist provision in a mainstream school for pupils with a significant level of special needs.

Applegarth Academy supports for pupils with speech, language and communication needs.

Admission to these is through Croydon Council’s special educational needs (SEN) team.
