Schools must admit children up to their admission limit. For Dorridge Primary School, this limit is 90 per year group from Reception through to Year 6. Any decisions to take class sizes over the limit are made solely by the Local Authority.
Nursery Admissions
We have 90 places split into 2 classes in our Nursery and every child will be assured the same equal provision. Each child is allocated, by the Government, 15 hours per week in Nursery. At Dorridge, this is timetabled as three hours per day, 5 days a week. Nursery hours are: 8.30am - 11.30am Monday to Friday.
In addition to the funded Nursery session in the morning, children are welcome to spend their afternoon with a Nursery Teacher and Teaching and Learning Support Assistants. This enables them to be at Nursery for the whole school day, from 8.30am – 3.10pm. If parents are eligible, the cost of this will be covered by the Early Years 30 Hour Entitlement, with a small charge for lunch and the lunchtime session childcare. Please refer to the Nursery 30 hours flyer below for more information.Nursery 30 Hours Flyer 2023-2024
For admissions for September 2023 and future years, Nursery admissions will be organised through the school. For all enquires, please contact Mrs Claire Mansfield, School Admissions Officer:
