School Admissions
Children who attend Little Sparks Nursery are not automatically given a Reception space in Sutton Park Primary School when they are due to start school. Admissions to Sutton Park Primary School are made in line with the priority order stated within our admissions policy. Please consider this if you wish for your child to remain at Sutton Park Primary School after attending Little Sparks Nursery, as spaces cannot be guaranteed.
