At Bewcastle School, we welcome children from the term after their third birthday

Pupils can start at school in September, January and April. Nursery hours are from 9-12am Monday to Friday. After the first half term, children can stay for lunch from 12 – 1pm at an additional cost. 

Nursery children work and play with children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. If you would like to visit our nursery setting, please contact the school.
