Consultation: Landkey Community Primary Academy – proposal to change the age range

Landkey Community Primary Academy proposes to extend its age range from aged 4-11 to 2-11 years, starting in January 2024. Initially, the Academy plans to admit three and four-year-olds to the Reception Class, establishing a Foundation Stage Unit, with the intention of later accommodating two-year-olds.

If approved, the school will operate a cohesive Foundation Stage Unit, where Nursery and Reception children will learn together. This arrangement will continue until the transition to Year One, which is the commencement of Key Stage One. Should the demand for nursery provision grow to such a level, a dedicated Nursery class will be established, separate to the Reception class.
