Consultation on the Proposed Establishment of a Nursery Provision at Harold Court Primary School

Overview

Harold Court Primary School is seeking to open a 30 place Nursery provision for 3 - 4 year olds and this consultation sets out the plan to implement this proposal. In order to establish a Nursery, it is necessary for the school to change the age range for which the school can cater for, from 4-11 years old to 3-11 years old. 

This is an exciting opportunity that would enable the school to provide Early Education and Childcare places to children aged 3 and 4 years old prior to their entry to school.

The purpose of this consultation is to provide information about our proposal and seek the views of Harold Court families and the wider community.

Why your views matter

Harold Court Primary School welcomes the support of the local community that it serves.  This is an opportunity for parents, family members, staff and the local community who have an interest in the school to respond to our proposal. 

The consultation period starts on Monday 24 February 2025 and will end on Monday 24 March 2025. 

What happens next

All responses will be considered after our consultation ends on Monday 24 March 2025. If the Council then decides to proceed to the statutory stage of the process, it will publish a statutory notice and other information in April 2025, followed by a four week ‘representation period’ during which there will be a final chance to express views. Subject to the outcome of the representation period, the Council intends to make a final decision on our proposal by June 2025 for implementation from September 2025.
