Overview
Sir Edmund Hillary School is a fully inclusive mainstream school.
Nursery and Foundation
AT 2 YEARS OLD
Our very youngest children join us at 2 years old within the Nursery Building
AT 3 YEARS OLD
All children can access 15 hours free entitlement in the term after they turn three, some may get 30hrs. The year group is known as Foundation 1, or F1
AT 4 YEARS OLD
Children start full time schooling in the school year in which they turn 5. This Reception year is also known as Foundation 2, or F2.
Parents needing wrap around care can either do so by paying for a lunchtime or second session, or some children may be eligible to access this through their 30 hr entitlement. This provision is enhanced through our Club Ed After School provision.
