Nursery at Christ The King RC Primary School

Stories, rhymes and learning alongside other children give Christ The King’s nursery its clearest character. This is the school’s own Nursery Year provision in Worsley, within a Catholic primary school whose age range starts at three. A nursery teacher is part of the staffing structure, while pastoral responsibility extends across the school team.
The Early Years Foundation Stage takes practical shape here through stories, rhymes, familiar routines and learning with other children. These experiences help children practise listening and participating in a group. In May 2025, Ofsted described children enjoying these together, and early-years children managing familiar routines and working cooperatively. For a parent considering a first school setting, those details matter: the day includes learning how to participate alongside other children as well as listening to stories.
The school calls its curriculum Vow to Wow. Learning is sequenced from the early years onwards, giving these first experiences a place within a longer learning plan. The nursery curriculum includes Every Child a Song in its work on rights and Baby Goes to Market among its books. These are concrete examples of the material children encounter, rather than just broad curriculum labels.
The safeguarding policy requires a key person for each child in the Early Years Foundation Stage. That gives families an identified adult within the care structure. Parents can approach staff through the school’s open-door arrangements; conversations with teachers may need an appointment so they can fit around teaching responsibilities.
Additional needs are identified from the Nursery Year. The SEN policy involves parents in setting learning targets and reviewing progress, with the class teacher and special educational needs coordinator organising support. Speech and Language services and Educational Psychology are among the external services the school can involve. Families therefore have a role in planning support, rather than simply receiving updates after decisions.
Physical access is also addressed: the infant and junior departments occupy a single accessible level. This is a school-wide feature relevant to families discussing mobility needs.
Nursery attendance does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate application through the normal school admissions process. The admissions page provides a link to Salford City Council’s school admissions service.
For the 2025/2026 arrangements, nursery attendance was not a priority criterion. Those arrangements instead included faith, care status, exceptional needs and sibling criteria. Treat choosing the nursery and applying for Reception as separate decisions.
For children receiving SEN support, the school’s policy passes information to the next class teacher and carries an individual provision plan through school. This supports continuity of care and learning; it does not change admission entitlement.
Navy joggers with a blue or white polo shirt are encouraged for nursery children, making clothing suited to play and PE the practical emphasis. Belongings should carry the child’s name.
King’s Kids provides additional childcare for ages three to eleven. Based in the main school building, it operates on weekdays during term time, with breakfast care from 7.30am to 8.45am and after-school care from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. These are club hours, separate from the nursery day. Registration paperwork must be completed and sessions booked through ParentPay; places depend on availability. Contact the school for current club charges.
Breakfast and snacks belong to this wraparound provision. The club supplies fruit and vegetables, keeps drinking water accessible, and aims to accommodate dietary needs and parental preferences where possible. Its snacks are not a replacement for an evening meal.
