Good Shepherd Catholic Primary and Nursery School

A voluntary aided school for boys and girls aged 3 to 11.

School information:

Headteacher: Mrs Jane Day
Admission number: 30
Age range: 3 to 11
DfE number: 306/3400

Nursery places:

26 full and part time places

Our school has a nursery class for 3 and 4-year-olds, providing for 26 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.

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.

Supplementary Information Form (SIF)

If applying for a foundation place, the school’s SIF must be completed and returned to the school by the closing date. These supplementary forms seek information which is not collected on the LA application form, but which is needed by the school to enable them to reach a decision on your application.

You can collect a SIF from the school or download it from the school’s website. The SIF should be returned direct to the school and not to the Local Authority.

Please note: a SIF will not be considered on its own. You must also include the school as a preference on the Local Authority’s online application form.

Failure to return the SIF will mean that the school cannot consider the application under the foundation criteria; in this case the application will be considered under open places criteria.
