Teddy Toddle News

We are delighted to let everyone know that our Early Years Teddy Toddle raised an astounding £1,625.06p!
This total amount, in such challenging times, has absolutely blown us away! The generosity and support from our parents and families of children in the Nursery and Reception is truly incredible – there are not enough superlatives to say how amazing you are and we are so very grateful to each and every one of you who has sponsored and supported the youngest of learners in our school.
You certainly will make our dreams of a super-duper mud-kitchen a reality and we are sure that there will be more than enough now to make our water area even better too.
Once again, thank you from us all.
p.s. If anyone out there knows of any person that is handy with a saw, hammer and drill, we are looking for volunteers to help us build our mud-kitchen. Please contact Miss Killelay (Nursery Teacher) via the school office if you can help.

Notice for Nursery Parents – applying for Reception places

Dear Parent/Carers
 
PLEASE NOTE – this is essential information about your child’s Reception Class place for next year.
It may feel as though they have just started the Nursery year but children in Birmingham can start school (Reception) in the September after their fourth birthday. So if your child was born between 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2019, they will be able to start school in September 2023.
Applications open on 1 October 2022 for primary school places in September 2023. The closing date is 15 January 2023 at 11:59pm.
You must apply on time. If you apply late, you are less likely to get offered a place at any of your preferred schools.
Applications received after 15 January 2023 will be classed as late and will not be processed until after the offer of places on 17th April 2023.
Make sure that you:
– List three different primary schools, do not put just one.
– Include details of any siblings attending your preferred school(s) in the box provided.
As this responsibility is yours as a parent or carer, please take care to fill it in correctly.
From October 1st, applications are open. Follow the link below and click on ‘Apply Online for a Primary School Place’.
Responsibility For Applying Online:
Birmingham City Council’s School Admissions and Fair Access Service publishes information on their website, informing parent/carers on how to start their child at school. However, the responsibility for applying online for a child to start reception class, remains solely with parent/carer.
PLEASE NOTE:
If your child is likely to access a special school place, due to a special educational need and/or disability, you must still apply for a mainstream primary school via this process.
If you need any help in applying for a reception 2023 place, please speak to Miss Killelay in the Nursery or phone the school office on 0121 472 0062
