Our Partnership of schools

Nursery

    • Admissions

    The Learning Academy Partnership (South West) is the admissions authority for all academies within our Trust. It has responsibility for the admissions policies and decisions on applications for admission. We have an admissions policy for each academic year and they will be published on this page when they are proposed for consultation and after they have been determined annually. They are written to comply with the School Admissions Code 2022 and School Admissions Appeals Code 2022.

    Come and visit us

    If you are interested in your child attending our school, you are welcome to come in and visit us. You can arrange a visit on 01288 331395 or by emailing [email protected]

    Applying to come here

    Once you decide you would like a place you must make a formal application. This is the same for all new admissions, including children who have a sibling with us, children who have been a pupil here before and including children who have been at our nursery. You can do this by applying to the Local Authority Cornwall County Council School admissions - Cornwall Council

     If your child is due to start in Reception (Foundation Stage), children are offered places to start in Reception at the beginning of the September term after their fourth birthday, even if they intend to defer admission until later in the academic year.

    The Local Authority We take part in the co-ordinated admissions schemes of Cornwall Council. Cornwall Council publishes information about admissions and its own policies to support the admissions application and appeals process. This is at https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/schools-and-education/schools-and-colleges/school-admissions/
    Applications can be made online at   Synergy - Enquiry

    The appeals process is detailed at https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/schools-and-education/schools-and-colleges/school-admissions/appeal-a-school-place-decision/

    You can find our admissions policies below – we review the academy policy annually and may make changes if we feel this would be in the best interests of the academy and our community.

    Each academic year has its own policy document, with details about how to apply for a place in our academy from the start of Reception through to Year 6.

    Part time offer for reception children of non compulsory school age

    We invite parents to visit so that we can discuss the provision on offer to children in our Reception class, how it is tailored to meet the needs of the youngest children, parent concerns, how their needs would be met as they move through the school and school readiness. Children follow the same Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum in Reception as in Nursery and Childminder settings. The Early Years is delivered in a way where learning involves lots of play and exploration rather than formal learning at tables and can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual child.
