At Normanton Common Primary Academy, we ensure all our children have a strong start and build firm foundations for learning. If you are interested in a Nursery place for your child, please contact our school office to request a ‘nursery application form’. Once completed and returned your child will be placed on our nursery waiting list and will be eligible to join our nursery the term following their third birthday. We have a limited number of 30 hours places available – please indicate this on the form.

You will receive a letter with details of the place offered direct from Normanton Common Primary Academy the term before your child is due to start in nursery. Please ensure school remain notified of any change of address and telephone numbers.
