Following discussion and consultation with parents, Tower College now takes pupils into the Nursery on a part-time basis.
The favoured option from the parents’ and children’s perspective is that the part-time pupils would attend for two or three days per week, rather than having the disruption of a split day. If pupils attend for only mornings or afternoons they would miss out on the balance of activities which are structured differently in the mornings (teacher led) and afternoons(child led). We also took into account that parents would be making three journeys if they had siblings in the school.
The two / three days would have to be selected in advance and adhered to so that appropriate staffing levels can be arranged.
Fees will obviously be charged only for the days chosen, but invoicing procedures remain the same.
All Nursery pupils will be able to make this choice, so it will be for pupils who are three up to the September in which they are four, when they transfer to Kindergarten One. (Reception)
