One of these remains the need for parents/guardians to apply for a Nursery school place for the academic year 2021-22 if your child has turned three before the 31st August 2021. Applying for a Nursery place is the first step on your child(ren)s educational journey and one which parents/guardians may find difficult because you want to ensure the setting you choose is right for yourself and most importantly your child(ren), especially if it’s your first child and the process is new to you. Here at Ysgol Tanyfron in normal times we would welcome parents/guardians to visit school and specifically the Nursery setting, engage in face-to-face conversations with Nursery staff and most importantly give you opportunities to ask those specific questions to you to help make your decision easier. Unfortunately, for ourselves and all schools at the moment we aren’t able to offer this more personal service. Therefore, we would like to help/support you with your decision making process by giving you an insight into the ethos and vision here at Ysgol Tanyfron by sharing with you a brief video of our setting and an overview of our child centred learning philosophy. As a staff, we appreciate this may not answer all your questions so we would welcome the opportunity to liaise further with you through a telephone call or a video conferencing session should you wish. Our video and supporting leaflet along with further information about school can be found on our school website (www.ysgoltanyfron.co.uk) and our school twitter page (@YsgolTanyfron) The application window for applying for a Nursery place opened on the 4th January 2021 and closes on the 19th February 2021. Any applications received after this are deemed late. Applying for a place needs to be done through Wrexham County Borough Council and further information and the application process can be found via the online admissions portal at www.wrexham.gov.uk We hope this letter and leaflet has provided you with an insight into life at Ysgol Tanyfron, and will help you with your decision-making. Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact myself or any member of the Nursery team at school. Yours sincerely Mr D. Lloyd Headteacher .
