Nursery Admissions
We offer up to 30 hours of free childcare for eligible families of three and four year old children.
Thursby Primary School is a community primary school and therefore, the local authority nursery admissions policy provides the criteria by which applications for oversubscribed classes will be prioritised.
Free entitlement will be offered between the hours of 8.50am to 11.50am and 12.20pm to 3.20pm, term time only, Monday to Friday.
Between 11.50am and 12.20pm (lunch-time) we offer wraparound care at £2.25 per session. Families may either provide a packed lunch for their child or purchase a Dolce school meal for £2.24.
We warmly welcome visits to our school. If you would like to book a personalised tour to see our school in action please contact our school office on 01228 711180 or via email at admin@thursby.cumbria.sch.uk
