New flexible Nursery admissions
From January 2009, we are delighted to be able to offer a new range of flexible admissions options for girls joining or currently attending the nursery at Headington.
Join us from age 3
Due to popular demand, we have amended our admissions policy so that if your daughter’s birthday is early in the academic year (e.g. in September or October), you have the option to choose when you would like her to start. She can spend up to five terms in the Nursery, joining us at any time from the beginning of the half term following their third birthday, and moving up to Pre-Kindergarten with other girls in her academic year in the September following her fourth birthday. No matter whether she is with us for three, four or five terms, our rolling programme of fun topics and our emphasis on individual tuition and small group work will ensure that her time with us is stimulating, inspiring, and will leave her well prepared for the next stage in her school career.
Flexible nursery sessions
We can now offer your daughter the opportunity to join the nursery for morning sessions only (8.30-12.45) or for full days (8.30-3.30), or for any combination of the two provided that she attends a minimum of three mornings or two days per week.
The Nursery day has been carefully structured to help our youngest pupils learn and develop at their own pace, with plenty of individual attention for everyone from the class teacher and full-time teaching assistant. Morning sessions gradually set in place the building blocks that will form the foundations of reading, writing and numeracy, whilst afternoons may include free-flow sessions with plenty of opportunities to develop socially and emotionally through interaction with others. Girls benefit from experiencing a Nursery that is part of our larger School community, and can gradually increase their attendance each half term until they are ready to spend a full week in school.
