What does “with nursery” mean on this Pontefract page?

It means the school currently has nursery provision flagged in the live school data. It does not by itself confirm admissions priority or guaranteed progression into Reception.

Does nursery attendance guarantee a Reception place in Pontefract?

No. Many schools make it clear that nursery attendance does not guarantee admission into the main school, so parents should still check each school’s admissions policy carefully.
