Consultation Launched on Nursery Closure at Hill Top Primary

Local authority seeks views on proposed change to school age range

A consultation has been launched regarding the potential closure of the nursery provision at Hill Top Church of England Primary School. If approved, the school’s age range would change from 3 to 11 years old to 4 to 11 years old.

Details of the proposed change

The consultation focuses on the future of the nursery class currently operating at Hill Top C of E Primary School. The closure would mean that the school would no longer offer places for children aged three, effectively ending its early years provision. The school would continue to educate pupils from reception through to Year 6, covering ages four to 11.

Implications for families and early years education

• Children aged three currently attending or planning to attend the nursery would need to seek alternative early years settings.
• The change could affect local nursery capacity and availability of early years places in the surrounding area.
• Parents and carers are encouraged to participate in the consultation to share their views and concerns.

Next steps

The consultation period allows stakeholders, including parents, staff, and the wider community, to provide feedback on the proposed nursery closure. Following the consultation, a decision will be made based on the responses received and the wider context of early years provision in the area.

Further information and details on how to respond to the consultation can be found on the Bradford Schools Online website.
