Lift Schools and Lift Four Dwellings Primary are consulting on a proposal to lower the age range of the school from 3 to 11 years to 2 to 11 years, to provide an additional nursery class for 2 year olds and the introduction of a full Foundation Stage within the school from September 2026.
This initiative is in line with government policy to expand provision for children aged 2-5 and in particular, increase provision that can be easily accessed in local schools. To this end, Lift Schools and Lift Four Dwellings Primary are applying for the DfE’s School Based Nursery Capital Grant to fund the work needed to accommodate this additional provision on the school site.
Please see the document below which outlines the consultation process and timescales for lowering the school age to facilitate the nursery class and invites you to submit your views.
What happens next?
We held an online public meeting on Wednesday 19th November, for parents and any other interested parties, to share our proposal and hear the views that people have.
You can listen to a recording of the meeting here. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact us on Tel: 0121 566 6666 Email: contactus@fourdwellingsprimaryacademy.org.
