The Early Years
at Hebden Royd Primary School
Starting Nursery
Children are admitted to our Nursery class three times a year (September, January and after Easter) from the term following their 3rd birthday (or later). Full time and part time places are available, and full or half days, which is ideal for introducing children to the school environment.
If you want your child to start in Nursery, you apply directly to school. Contact us to arrange a visit and pick up an application form in the school office.
Working parents or carers of children aged three to four in England are currently entitled to 30 hours government funded childcare a week.
If parents choose not to use their 30 hour entitlement at school the costs for our sessions are as follows:
8:50am - 11:50am - £14.00
12:50pm - 3:05pm - £14:00
Hebden Royd CE Primary School is a registered childcare provider with the government Tax-Free Childcare scheme. If you are not signed up to this you can apply here
Parents can get Tax-Free Childcare at the same time as their 30 hours government funded childcare entitlement.
In year applications
Children may be able to join our school in other year groups at any time during the school year, if a place is available. Please contact us to arrange a visit and to discuss this.
Come and have a look around.
We hope exploring this website has given you a good idea of what our school is like, but it’s no substitute for visiting in person and meeting our staff and pupils. We think you’ll be impressed. Please get in touch to arrange a visit.
