Important
If your child has a place in Somerville Nursery School, this does not mean that they will automatically get a place in the Foundation 2 class at Somerville Primary School.
Additional Needs
We are a fully inclusive school and offer places to children who have a range of additional needs. We aim to work in partnership with parents/ carers and families to ensure that all our children are happy and secure and can access a learning environment and curriculum which will meet their individual needs. Please contact us and we will be happy to discuss your child’s needs.
