Nursery Admissions for September 2025

Undecided on where you would like your child to begin their learning journey? Nursery application window has now closed, however, it is still not too late to apply for a space in our Nursery Class for September 2025.

Contact us on 01978 269500 or email mailbox@minera-pri.wrexham.sch.uk to arrange a tour of Minera.

If you have made an application for a Funded Early Education place to start in January or April, it’s important to note that this is not the same as a Nursery application. (If you have made an application for a Funded Early Education place to start in April, you will receive a letter from us on 21/02/2025).

Securing a place in an early education setting for spring or summer term does not guarantee you a place at the same setting for the Nursery class which starts in September. You must make a separate application for the Nursery class if you have not done so already.

School Eisteddfod - 21st March 2025

Mia, Eloise and Mara from Blwyddyn 6 have planned competitions for a school Eisteddfod on Friday 21st March. The competition is open to children and there will be winners from each class. You may want to use the half-term break to get started on your entries! All entries must be in school by Monday 17th March. Once the cakes have been judged they will be available to buy from 3:00 p.m. on Monday 17th March, with money raised going to purchase items for classes.
