We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded £150,000 to develop a school-based nursery at St Benet's. This is a significant and exciting step forward, building on the strong foundations already in place across our schools and reflecting our continued commitment to supporting children and families from the earliest stages of education.

The nursery will offer a nurturing, high-quality environment where children can flourish, grow in confidence and begin their learning journey within our school community. It will also strengthen links with families and help to support a smooth transition into Reception. It will be open to children aged 3 and above. 

An expression of interest form is now available. We would be very grateful if families could complete this form if they are interested in a place from September, including details of the type of provision required (such as 15 hours, 30 hours or paid places) and whether you would like to be kept updated as the project develops. Please also share this opportunity with friends, family and the wider community who may be interested.

We would also like to remind families that we currently have spaces available in other classes across the school, so please contact the school office if you would like to find out more.

We look forward to sharing further updates as this exciting project continues to progress.
