Nursery & Pre-School Admissions
Admissions and change requests for nursery/pre-school are implemented 3 times per academic year, at the beginning of each term as follows:
Autumn Term – September to December
Spring Term – January to March
Summer Term – April to July
Please note that these terms do not exactly match the standard school terms, but instead follow the Early Years Funding terms as specified by Swindon Borough Council.
Application to Join Liden Academy
In order to apply for your child to join Liden Academy Nursery or Pre-school, you will be required to complete an enquire form at which stage your child will be added to a waiting list for the term you have requested for them to start.
We will contact you approx 6-8 weeks prior to the new term to confirm the hours we can offer. If you would like to accept this place, we will then ask you to complete new starter forms, these will be able to be collected from the school office.
Session Changes
For current children, parents can request a change to days or hours by completing a change of session form which can be collected at the school office. These changes can only be implemented in September, January or after Easter with at least a small terms (6-8 weeks) notice.
Any changes are subject to availability and not guaranteed. Any changes will mean parents much complete another council funding form to ensure any funding entitlement can be claimed by Liden.
Please contact the office at any time if you would like to discuss any changes needed.
