Many of our children join St John the Baptist in the Nursery, aged three. A place in the Nursery does not guarantee a place in the main school however. We encourage all our families with children in nursery to apply for a place in our Reception. Children meeting the local authority’s entry requirements move on to Reception. As we have two classes in Reception, we do have places for children who do not attend our nursery.

The deadline for Secondary School applications is on Thursday 31st October 2019. At St John the Baptist, we advise parents to complete Secondary Applications before half-term. Parents / Carers must choose 6 Secondary schools. Attending secondary school Open Days / Evenings with your child will ensure you have made an informed decision.
