Pegasus Primary school, part of Summit Learning trust, will open its doors to younger children this September.
The Castle Vale-based school, in Birmingham, has been awarded a £150,000 grant to build a new nursery, housed at Pegasus Primary School and will be providing 20 places for 2-year-olds and 20 places for 3 and 4-year-olds at a new pre-school, before they start at the primary school in Reception. The nursery hours will be available to families in school term time.
By introducing a brand-new nursery, Pegasus aims to provide a seamless educational journey for children, reducing the number of transitions they experience when joining full time school in Reception. The nursery will be an exciting learning environment, with separate spaces for the children to play, learn and have fun.
Adam Ames, principal at Pegasus Primary School said: “We are delighted with the grant to build a new school-based nursery.
“We know our local families would like their children to start in nursery with us and continue onto primary school. This grant has meant we are able to meet the needs of our community, whilst maintaining our reputation for offering children a high standard of education at Pegasus.”
Pegasus Primary School is a caring and friendly school where every single learner matters. It houses a family of young learners, supportive parents and carers and talented colleagues with a vibrant curriculum designed to foster a love of learning that will help to develop aspiration and a lifetime of positive memories.
Pegasus aims for every young person in their care to be confident, caring, resilient and inquisitive, who want to learn and achieve the very best they can in all that they do. Parents interested in securing a place for their child at the school's new nursery can register their interest by completing the application form online.
