Find out more and share your views about our Nursery consultation below
Lift Schools and Lift Percy Shurmer are consulting on a proposal to lower the age range of the school from 3 to 11 years to 2 to 11 years, to provide an additional nursery class for 2 year olds and the introduction of a full Foundation Stage within the school from September 2026.
About the initiative
This initiative is in line with government policy to expand provision for children aged 2-5 and in particular, increase provision that can be easily accessed in local schools. To this end, Lift Schools and Lift Percy Shurmer are applying for the DfE’s School Based Nursery Capital Grant to fund the work needed to accommodate this additional provision on the school site.
Please see the document linked on the button below which outlines the consultation process and timescales for lowering the school age to facilitate the nursery class and invites you to submit your views.
What happens next?
We held an online public meeting on Tuesday 11th November, for parents and any other interested parties, to share our proposal and hear the views that people have.
You can listen to a recording of the meeting here. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact us (Tel: 0121 464 3431 General email: contactus@liftpercyshurmer.org)
At the end of the consultation period (19th Nov), we will review all the responses received and share these with the Local Authority and the Department for Education.
We will update the school community once the outcome of the bid is known which is anticipated to be Spring 2026.
