Admissions

Admission to Primary School

Shirley Manor is designated as a Primary School and we educate children from 4+ through to eleven years of age. We also have the facility of an on-site Nursery which caters for children aged 3+.

All children are admitted into our Reception classes in the September of the academic year in which they are five.
Visits to look around the school are welcome. Please contact the school office on 01274 679320, or email [email protected] to make arrangements.

Entry to Nursery at three points in the school year:

  • September

Our Nursery takes children the term after their 3rd birthday.
