PARENTS and carers of children approaching nursery school age in September 2018 have until the end of the week to submit applications for schools within Torfaen.
The council’s policy is to admit children at nursery schools and units from the term starting after their third birthday, with autumn term running between September 1 and December 31, spring between January 1 and March 31 and finally summer between April 1 and August 31.
Places are allocated on a part-time basis with morning or afternoon sessions available for five days per week but in certain limited circumstances, full-time placements can be offered to four-year-olds.
Any forms submitted after the deadline of Friday, October 6, will be classed as a late application and will be considered after all applications which were received on time.
The outcome of applications is via the education service by Friday, November 24 and contact Kath Worwood on 01495 766915 or the Family Information Service on 08000 196330 for details.
