Overview

The governing body of Ditchling (St Margaret’s) CE Primary School wishes to lower the school’s age range from 4-11 to 2-11 to provide nursery provision from the school site.

The aim of the proposal is to integrate, fully, nursery provision into the Early Years Foundation Stage within the school. The governing body wishes to ensure an offer of high quality early education delivered by experienced and well-trained staff across the Early Years Foundation Stage.  This will build on the work already done by the school to secure good outcomes for all children in the future.
