Children have the opportunity to start at Pengelli the day after their third birthday. We are happy to give you and your child a tour of the school before this. Please contact the office (01792 892736) for an appointment.

All new parents/pupils will receive a Welcome Pack, together with all the relevant paperwork, which is available from the school office. Parents who are considering sending their child to our school are encouraged to visit first to tour the school.

Below is the statutory admissions information for Swansea. You will notice that schools in Swansea have an obligation to offer a Nursery place to children the term after they turn three.

“In Swansea all primary schools provide part-time nursery education for parents who would like their child to attend a nursery class. The policy of the Local Authority is to provide part-time nursery education only. A nursery place will be available for your child from the term following their third birthday although it may not be in the school nearest to your home address. You can apply for a place at your catchment school or any other school for which you may have a preference. Parents may wish to visit schools before they make a decision about which school they wish to apply for and visits to school should be arranged directly with the head teacher of the relevant school. School websites also provide useful information about schools as does the Welsh Government website My Local School www.mylocalschool.wales.gov.uk and the City and County of Swansea website www.swansea.gov.uk

If there is not a place immediately available in your preferred school you may have to put your child’s name on a waiting list. You will be offered a place in an alternative school. There is no right of appeal against the refusal to offer a nursery place in a specific school.

It is also important to note that children attending the nursery class of a school will not have an automatic right of admission to full time education in Reception at the same school”
