Nursery at Perry Hall 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.

Confident talk and learning to work together give Perry Hall’s early years provision its character. At the school’s Ofsted inspection on 29 and 30 April 2025, early years was judged Outstanding. That judgement covers the school’s early years provision, rather than a separately inspected nursery.
Perry Hall Primary School in Wednesfield includes provision for two-year-olds. There are also 60 Nursery places, split between morning and afternoon groups. For families, the practical starting point is a session place within a primary school.
Activities have a clear purpose. In April 2025, early years staff planned learning around what children needed to tackle next, giving each activity a connection to their development. The emphasis is on building foundations for later learning, with adults choosing tasks to match children’s next steps.
Language receives close attention. Adults demonstrate how to use words, helping children expand their vocabulary and become more assured speakers. This makes conversation part of learning, with children gaining confidence in using unfamiliar words themselves.
Predictable routines also shape the experience. Children listen to other children and show kindness in their interactions. Learning together matters here: these habits help them cooperate and take part positively alongside their peers.
In April 2025, children were thriving from the beginning of early years. Clear routines and considerate behaviour give the day a consistent social framework, helping children learn how to listen and work with others.
For children with disabilities, the school describes adjustments to teaching and daily routines, staff training to support individual needs, and collaboration with families and professionals. The practical aim is participation in school life. This gives parents a useful starting point for discussing how their child’s needs will be supported.
Attending the nursery does not guarantee a Reception place or confer priority through nursery attendance. Families must make a separate application through their home local authority’s online Common Application Form, following the normal Reception application timetable. Perry Hall participates in Wolverhampton’s coordinated admissions scheme.
The allocation decision is separate from a child’s nursery experience. Where applications exceed places, the criteria include care status, exceptional medical or social circumstances, siblings, qualifying children of staff and distance from home. Nursery attendance is not one of those criteria.
Preparation for the next stage is a different matter. In April 2025, early years children developed the language and cooperation skills that helped them move forward in their education. Those learning benefits do not alter the application process.
A Nursery application results in either a morning or an afternoon place, with 30 places in each session. A charged wraparound club is available for families who need it. Ask the school for current charges before committing to that additional care.
Application forms come from the school office, and the school allocates nursery places. Every applicant must arrange a visit before applying, making viewing the provision part of the joining process. Contact the office on 01902 921159 or email perryhallprimaryschool@wolverhampton.gov.uk.
Terrific for Two’s provides up to 15 hours of free childcare for eligible families. Eligibility can be checked through an online referral up to two terms before a child’s second birthday, allowing families to begin that process ahead of their child turning two.
