Nursery admissions are managed by Marine Park First School, following the Local Authority Admission Code. Please contact the school if you would like to arrange a visit.
Pupils are eligible to attend the Nursery in the September following their third birthday. In order to be considered for a place, parents/carer must apply directly to the school. Please contact Ms G Ramsay on 0191 2534343, via info@marineparkfirst.org.uk or call into the school office. All schools in the Whitley Bay Collaborative agree on a offer day (usually the first Friday in February) and set a deadline for accepting or declining a place. Schools then cross reference lists of accepted places.
Please note that a place in the Nursery class does not guarantee a place in the Reception year.
