Proposal to extend the age range at Ewhurst C of E Infant School
Overview
We are consulting you about a proposal to extend the age range of Ewhurst C of E Infant School from September 2026.
If the proposal was agreed it would mean that the school would extend its age range to become Ewhurst C of E Primary School from 1 September 2026. The school would grow incrementally so that by September 2029 it would have pupils in all year groups from Reception to Year 6.
To facilitate this transition to a primary school, the governing body of the school would also need to reduce the Published Admissions Number of the school from 30 to 15.
Why your views matter
Extending the age range of Ewhurst C of E Infant School will mean that the school would become a primary school, offering an education to children from Year Reception through to Year 6.
The school would grow incrementally, year on year, rather than admitting additional cohorts of children immediately. If the proposal is agreed, it is anticipated that the first cohort of pupils would transition from Year 2 into Year 3 at the school in September 2026. This would mean that Year 2 pupils would no longer need to secure a place at an alternative school for their junior education, but could remain at Ewhurst CE Infant if they wished.
