Romiley Primary School Nursery

Romiley Primary School uses the phrase Learning Together, and its nursery sits within that school setting on Sandy Lane in Romiley, Stockport. The school aims to help children become happy, confident and resilient learners. That is an ambition for children’s development, rather than a nursery inspection judgement.

We hold no published inspection grade for it. Practical links with school life include an infant uniform that expressly includes nursery children.

The school aims for nursery learning to lay a foundation for children’s later education. The emphasis is on beginning that educational journey, with the school’s wider aim of preparing children for a happy and active place in society.

Learning Together also expresses the school’s emphasis on cooperation between families and staff. For parents, that makes the relationship with the school part of the nursery experience, alongside the curriculum itself.

At school lunchtime, children can have a cooked meal or bring a packed lunch. School meals follow government school-lunch standards. This gives families a choice between school catering and food prepared at home.

Payment for school meals goes through Parentpay, and payment must reach the school before a meal can be provided. If a child misses a paid meal through absence, the credit follows in the next week. These arrangements matter when organising lunches around attendance.

The school also directs parents and carers towards CEOP’s ThinkUKnow guidance about online safety. This is a practical resource for families, rather than evidence of a nursery-specific safeguarding outcome.

Attending the nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Nursery entry and Reception admission are separate processes: families must apply again through the normal Reception application route by its normal deadline. Choosing nursery provision should therefore be a decision about the nursery experience itself, with the later school application treated as a separate step.

Nursery children are included in the infant uniform arrangements. Options include grey trousers, shorts, a skirt, a pinafore or a dress, with a white polo shirt and a black sweatshirt or cardigan. Black shoes complete the main uniform; a yellow checked dress is another option.

Clothing should carry the child’s name, helping distinguish their belongings. Uniform can be bought from usual department stores or from the local supplier, M. Warren & Co., at Chadkirk Business Park.

For enquiries, contact the school on 0161 430 3101 or email headteacher@romiley.stockport.sch.uk. An online enquiry form is another route, requesting a name, email address, telephone number and the enquiry itself. The school’s address is Sandy Lane, Romiley, Stockport, SK6 4NE.
