"Learning for Life - Aiming High to Achieve the Best"
Headteacher message conveys that Melbury is a good school with children at the heart of everything it does, high expectations, and a partnership with parents. It highlights an enquiry-based curriculum, outdoor learning, and opportunities through staff-led experiences to develop thinking, problem solving and creative skills in a safe, happy environment.
Nursery admissions: admission to Melbury Nursery is the term after a child is three; admission is sorted directly through the school; visits to nursery are welcomed; children should be potty trained before starting nursery unless they have identified special needs; there is a waiting list and attendance above acceptable levels is required to hold a place. Nursery entry criteria follow the LA policy: in catchment with a sibling in school; out of catchment with a sibling in school; in catchment with no sibling; out of catchment with no sibling. Full Time Places (30 hours) are offered only if Government eligibility criteria are met. Admissions to Melbury Primary School (Foundation 2 to Year 6) are through the local Authority and not directly through the school; visits are welcomed. See Nottingham City Council admission arrangements for full details (2024-2025, 2025-2026).
