At Woodcot, we pride ourselves on our Early Years curriculum, which is designed to provide your child with a seamless transition from nursery into primary school, to give them continuity in their learning journey.

Play-based learning takes place both indoors and outdoors, allowing children to explore and discover their immediate environment; encouraging them to take safe risks and become problem-solvers, working independently and with others. Throughout the day, there is a well-balanced mix of adult-led, adult-initiated, and child-led play.

When and how do I apply?

• Hampshire County Council administer the school applications process, and you can apply for a place from the start of November to mid-January, for your child to start school in the following September. You can view the exact opening and closing dates on their website.
• All applications we receive will be treated and ranked equally based on the criteria in our Admissions Policy.
