Admissions

It is expected that all children will attend school every day with a minimum attendance of 96%.

Starting school is an important step in the life of a child; we therefore try to make it a pleasurable and happy one.

Kineton Green welcomes visits from prospective parents. If you would like to visit the school please telephone to make an appointment, or come on one of the ‘Open days.’

Nursery Admissions Guidance

Nursery Application Form

Our general intake for children admitted into Nursery is every September following a child’s third birthday. Parents who move into the area, or require a place after the September intake, should contact the school directly to enquire about possible ‘in-year’ spaces. Our Nursery offers 30 full-time places, providing 30 hours of care per week. The core Nursery hours are:

Monday to Thursday: 8:35am – 3:15pm
Friday: 08:35am – 12:00pm

We operate a continuous block provision model. As part of the government-funded 30 hours entitlement:

From Monday to Thursday, children attend from 8:35am to 3:15pm.
On Friday, the funded session runs from 8:35am to 12:00pm.
Parents who wish for their child to stay in the Nursery provision from 12:00pm to 3:15pm on Fridays can opt for the extended provision, which is chargeable (£15.00 per week).

Parents who are not eligible for, or do not require, the full 30 hours may apply for a 15-hour place instead. Details of the two options for 15-hour sessions are provided below:

Session 1

Monday and Tuesday 8.35am-3:15pm

Wednesday 8.35am – 11.00am

Session 2

Wednesday 12.45pm-3.15pm

Thursday and Friday 8.35am-3:15pm

Please be aware that where there are more applications than places available then all applications will be given a priority from the oversubscription criteria and places will be offered in priority order. You will note that all 30 hour applications will be given priority over 15 hour applications.

If you child requires consumable items such as nappies, wipes, nappy cream we ask for parents to supply these.

If your child requires a school lunch this is charged at £2.58 per meal.

Reception

Government developments require that Nursery and Reception, classes be managed as a discrete stage – Foundation Stage.

The school cannot guarantee a Nursery pupil will be admitted to the Reception class. Parents of children in Nursery must complete an online application to request a Reception place. (The school can provide current LEA criteria for the allocation of places).

In Solihull, children start in Reception in September following their fourth birthday.

Kineton Green Primary School provides thirty full time places in Reception.

KS1 (Infant) and KS2 (Junior)

Parents of KS2 (Reception) children do not need to apply for a KS1 (Infant) place as children will automatically continue into the Infant department.

Parents of KS1 (Infant) children in primary schools do not need to apply for a KS2 (Junior) place as children will automatically continue into the Junior department.

For all of our trips across all year groups a voluntary contribution of an amount that varies is detailed to parents by letter.
