Starting Nursery

The earliest that a child can be considered to start a Sutton Community Nursery is at the beginning of the term after their third birthday. Your child’s date of birth will determine the maximum amount of time that they can spend in nursery before starting primary school. Sutton aims to provide at least one year of part-time nursery education prior to a child’s admission to primary school. In Sutton, children are eligible to start primary school in the academic year after they turn four years of age. Many nurseries will fill up in the Autumn term. Therefore, if your child is eligible to start nursery in the Spring term, there will be no guarantee that places will be available. Your child may have to wait until the Autumn term to be considered for a vacancy.

Nursery 2024/25

Nursery parents and carers should apply between 1st September 2023 and 15th January 2024 for places in our Nursery for September 2024.  The deadline for receipt of applications was 15 January 2024 at 3.00pm, the deadline has now passed.   Applications received after this time will be deemed late and considered after all on time applications.

If you wish to submit a late application as outlined above, please email cciadmissions@leoacademytrust.co.uk to request the link to a late nursery application form for the academic year 2024/2025.

Starting Reception

The law states that children are admitted to School at the beginning of the term after he or she reaches 5 years of age. In Sutton, all children are admitted earlier than this. All Reception children start school in September. Other children are accepted into the school at any time during the year, providing there is a place available in the relevant year group.

Reception 2024/25

We have 120 places in our Reception shared between four classes. All children need to apply for a Reception place through the Local Authority they pay their council tax to.  Offers of Reception places are sent directly from the Local Authority. Once you have confirmed your acceptance of the offer to the Local Authority, your details will be forwarded to the school. You will then be informed by the school as to your child’s starting date. Your child will have the opportunity to visit the school prior to starting.

For Reception places, please apply via the link within your local authority’s website.  The London Borough of Sutton's website, can be found below
