Nursery at Oxbridge Lane Primary School
Last reviewed: October 2026 · Inspection data and key information above update regularly, however, this review below is refreshed bi-annually and may not reflect recent changes. Contact the nursery directly to confirm current arrangements. If you spot anything outdated or inaccurate, please let us know.
Individual interests and a sense of belonging shape the school’s ambitions for its youngest learners. The nursery forms part of Oxbridge Lane Primary School in Stockton-on-Tees. Across the school, the stated aim is to recognise children’s different strengths and give them support suited to their needs. That is the wider school context for families choosing this nursery.
Curiosity and learning through practical experiences are school-wide curriculum aims. Oxbridge Lane describes an approach that connects learning with everyday situations and encourages children to take an active part. Its intention is to make learning relevant to children’s lives, with individual needs influencing how teachers adapt it.
Outdoor education also features in the school’s ambitions: staff aim to develop opportunities for learning outside across curriculum areas. Alongside this, the school wants children to explore interests through music, art, drama, dance and sport. These are whole-school intentions, rather than a nursery session timetable.
Social development runs through the school’s approach. Oxbridge Lane aims to help children build positive relationships, develop ways to manage their wellbeing and grow in confidence. For a young child, those aims put participation and personal development alongside learning new skills.
Support for additional needs has a school-wide team structure. The Special Educational Needs and Disability Co-ordinator works with staff and external agencies when a child needs assessment or support. School staff also share responsibility for helping children with special educational needs. This gives families a route into discussions involving both classroom staff and specialist support.
Home and school relationships are part of that approach. Oxbridge Lane encourages parents to take part in their child’s education and aims for children with SEND to participate in school life, with a curriculum that responds to their needs.
For concerns about additional needs, families can contact the school’s SEND team at oxsenco@sbcschools.org.uk. A direct contact route makes it possible to start that conversation with the team responsible for coordinating support.
Attending the nursery does not guarantee a Reception place. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions route and meet the normal deadline.
The school participates in Stockton Borough Council’s admission arrangements, with places allocated against oversubscription criteria. Treat the nursery choice and the Reception application as separate decisions: a nursery place should not be taken as an assurance of a later school place.
The school office can be contacted on 01642 607421 or at admin@oxbridgelane.org.uk. The address is Oxbridge Lane, Stockton-on-Tees, TS18 4DA.
Parking. Space immediately outside the school is limited, with street parking around it. Allow for this when planning collection journeys.
Clothing. The school expects suitable clothing for the weather and the day’s activities, and asks families to label every item. A school uniform exchange supplies donated items on request through the office, giving families another way to obtain school clothing.
No. Nursery attendance does not guarantee a place, and families must apply separately for Reception through the normal admissions process.
Stockton Borough Council determines the arrangements in which the school participates. Places are allocated against oversubscription criteria.
