Have your say on a proposal to lower the age range of Pashley Down Infant School from 4-7 years to 2-7 years

Overview

The Local Authority is consulting on lowering the age range at Pashley Down Infant School from 4-7 years to 2-7 years. The provision is intended to be implemented from September 2025.  This change is to support the Governors wish for the school to offer nursery provision on site to meet an identified shortfall of childcare places in the area.

The proposal aims to fully integrate nursery provision into the schools Foundation Stage offer. The Governing Board’s vision is to ensure the nursery supports the local area, with the aim of offering high quality early education delivered by experienced and well-trained staff across the Foundation Stage.
