Waiting List

Availability is assessed on an ongoing basis, taking into account any leavers or room moves. We will inform you if a place becomes available. If your child does not receive a place to start at the requested time, they will remain on the waiting list until a place becomes available or until you request for them to be removed. We advise parents to register your interest with us as soon as possible, as at times we have long waiting lists. The admin team will discuss the place options available, we always strive to accommodate parents needs and requests, however at times we only have certain options available due to our current numbers and capacity. 

Tours

Once registered on our waiting list, we will arrange for you to visit Collyhurst and have a tour of our provision. If you are happy and wish to proceed you will be added to our waiting list.

Allocation of Places

Places are offered based on the following order of priority:

  • Existing children looking to increase sessions

  • Distance to school setting

  • Siblings of existing children

  • The date of registration to the waiting list, in conjunction with whether your stated preference matches the available space.

Gradual Admission

Once a place is available you will be contacted to arrange a home visit and discuss the gradual admissions process for your child. Your child will be allocated a key worker once they start, who will get to know both your child and yourself to develop a partnership in supporting your child's learning.
