Helping to raise children
with kind hearts and Inquisitive minds

Welcome to Bolsover Infant
& Nursery School

We hope you find all the information you are looking for on our website.

We hope we can give you a flavour of what it is like to be part of our school community. As an infant school, we meet very young children at the start of their educational journey. As a result we believe it is important that we are ENGAGING children, parents and families in learning right from the start.

Our Learning Heroes

What are Learning Heroes

Learning Heroes are Bolsover Infant and Nursery School’s way of supporting our very young children to understand what learning qualities are, and a way of helping them demonstrate these qualities in their own behaviours. They are role models who encompass the desirable qualities needed to be ‘Good Learners’. They give children an age appropriate vocabulary to talk about how to work well together, how to stick at their work and achieve in their learning.


Who are the Learning Heroes

We have lots of Learning heroes including: The Behaviour Buddies: Mr.G.Raffety, Manny and Marty the Troublesome Twins, Zeb and Hooty, as well as our Learning Leaders: Target Tom and Mr Bewilder, Stickman, Winnie Wilford, Starla Start-Bee and our collaboration friends, as well as our Curriculum Companions: Professor Who-Believes, Exploreasaurus, Detective Dom, Mr Make it and Reggie Look it-up.

Derbyshire County Council 

Bolsover Infant and Nursery School

 

Consultation on a Proposal by the Governing Body for the Extension of the Age Range of the School from 3-7 years to 2-7years

Context

We are a three-form entry primary school with a PAN (pupil admission number) of 90 pupils in each year group. We also have a Governor led Nursery class every morning and afternoon (15 and 30 hours per week) and can take a maximum of 39 children, morning and afternoon.

Proposal

We are proposing to extend our Nursery provision from September 2027 to include 2-year olds.

We propose to enrol 20 children from the start of the term after they become 2 years old.  In line with our 3- & 4-year olds Nursery, we will have three entry points one in September, January and April (or after the Easter holiday).

Staff

There will be no redundancies or reductions in staffing as a result of this change.

We have consulted with Derbyshire HR who have confirmed that no TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings -Protection of Employment- Regulations 2006) arrangements will be required.

Funding

We have consulted with School Support Finance who have modelled the anticipated funding and built it into our budget monitoring spreadsheet. They recognise that this is a more sustainable financial model for us.

Consultation 

The consultation on this proposal will be for six  weeks from 20th July 2026.

A meeting will be arranged with all interested parties to explain the proposal and respond to questions.  This will take place on –

Thursday 20th September at 4.30pm
