Many of our pupils join Gainsborough in our Nursery class however, a place in the Nursery does not automatically guarantee a place in the main school reception class. Parents have to apply directly to the Learning Trust for a reception class space.

Admissions Criteria

Full details of the admissions criteria and a copy of the admission form for Reception are available on the Learning Trust website.
