Starting School

If your child is due to start school in September 2024, and you would like to have a look around our academy, please make an appointment via our Office Team and we will get in touch with you to arrange a visit.

We want you to see what we love about our school and what it looks and feels like to all the children that attend The Rushmere Park Academy & Nursery, this is why we don’t hold open evenings. Instead, we prefer to give a personalised tour of the academy or nursery with our Principal or a member of the Senior Leadership Team to answer any questions you may have. We feel experiencing the school with the children here will help give you the best sense of whether we are the right school for your child.
