Do you consider it desirable that the age range of the school is changed from 3-11 to 2-11 and a new Early Years class is set up at the school?

Newby and Scalby Parish Council support the proposal by the Governors of Barrowcliff School to change the age range and create a new early years class.

The recent decision to offer additional sessions in nursery on top of the funded hours has been an excellent help to lots of families – I have seen an immediate positive response and have heard many positive comments. The further expansion to accommodate 2 year olds will be so useful to so many more potential starters and I would have loved the provision when my daughter was younger. I have myself had to disappoint parents hoping their child was able to start before age 3 so I believe the demand is there.

Potential to increase numbers on roll in main school.

Opportunity to positively impact on financial sustainability of nursery and the creation of jobs.

Parental engagement opportunities.

I feel that having provision for 2-year-olds will:

•             Increase the school roll & therefore have a positive impact on school finance

•             Provide excellent education for children from 2 years & a smooth transition into Nursery & beyond

•             Provide support to families sooner than we can presently

This should benefit the school in the long term bringing more reception children to start each year, after building a good teacher/ pupil/ parent relationship.
