How old does my child need to be?

Your child can apply to the Wilderness Nursery from the term after their third birthday. This is to be completed and handed back to the main school, which manages the application process. 

You can learn more about admissions to the Wilderness Nursery by clicking here.

In-year Admissions

Children who are already at a school or are moving to Cowley and need a school place can also join classes in other school years, and we welcome applications, no matter the year your child is in.

Please be aware that in most year groups we are already full.  You can get your child on the waiting list when you apply for the place through the OCC website, accessed above.
