Opening January 2025

​

We are delighted to confirm that from January 2025, Haughton St. Giles will be lowering the age-range of the school to accept 3-year-olds into our pre-school.

The pre-school children will be welcomed into EYFS alongside our Reception pupils, under the experienced care of Miss Plant and Mrs Dryer. 

With a total of 15 places available, application packs can be collected from the school office and the spaces will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

​

Please note: Attendance in the pre-school provision does not automatically guarantee your child a place at Haughton St. Giles CE Primary Academy.  You must apply for their Reception place in accordance with the Staffordshire County Council School Admission Procedure.
