Meadlands warmly welcomes visits from prospective parents and children. If you would like to book a private tour of the school please contact the school office to arrange. 

On the following page we have divided the information into sections for your ease:

1/ Nursery Admissions 

2/ Primary Admissions 

3/ Secondary Admissions 

4/ In Year Admissions 

If you have any questions or would like some advice when making an application, please do not hesitate to contact the school. 

1/ Nursery Admissions

We also have a highly successful Nursery which admits children in either morning or afternoon or full time places.

Your options are:

 

Morning places    - 08.30 to 11.30 - 15 hours per week funded by the local authority

Afternoon places - 12.30  to 15.30 - 15 hours per week funded by the local authority

Full day places     - 08.30 to 15.30 - 15 hours per week funded by the local authority, with the further 20 hours (including hot                                                                       lunch provision) chargeable to parents at £110 per week.

 

Please note we do not currently offer the 30 hours provision. However you are still welcome to take full days with us. You can choose between 1 to 5 full days if you wish. Each full day session is charged at £22 which covers the additional 4 hours which are not funded by the local authority. This additional cost is in line with the charging made by other local schools, inclusive of the 30 hours. We accept any and all childcare vouchers and encourage families paying for additional hours to use these.

You may find this calculator (click here) useful for working out what support you may be able to get with your childcare costs.
