Admissions

Royd Nursery Infant School has a 39 place Foundation Stage 1(Nursery Provision). In Year 1 and Year 2 there are three classes that have 30 pupils. There are 3 points of entry for children to the Foundation Stage 1 base: these are September, January and April (DEPENDING ON PLACES).

Children start the term after their third birthday but this is subject to the availability of places. At present, children are entitled to 15 hours free over 2½ days.

We aim to make starting Foundation Stage 1 as comfortable as possible for the children. Home visits take place if requested so that staff can meet the children in a familiar environment. Starting times are staggered over a short period of time to help your child settle gradually.

Children become eligible to join school in our Foundation Stage 2 class during the year in which they have their 5th birthday. Parents may elect to send their child to school on either a full time or part time basis in September or you  may delay starting until the Spring or Summer terms. The options available differ depending upon when your child has their 5th birthday. Further details can be found on the Sheffield City Council website by clicking on the following link below
