Nursery Admissions for September 2025

Undecided on where you would like your child to begin their learning journey? Nursery applications close on Monday 17th February and we have places remaining.

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

You can apply on-line using the On-Line Admissions Service at www.wrexham.gov.uk.

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.

Attendance Update

National Number Day

On Friday 21st February. we are supporting NSPCC’s Number Day and are asking children to ‘dress up for digits!’ Pupils are asked to wear an item of clothing with a number on it (football shirt, cap, netball shirt or even a onesie!), or get even more creative by dressing in a maths or numbers theme. To help raise money for the NSPCC, we are asking for donations, and we’d love everyone in the school to take part in this special event. Children will be taking part in fun number activities on Friday, including taking part in a friendly TT Rock Stars competition against schools across the UK.

The information is here if you want to take a look: https://www.nspcc.org.uk/support-us/charity-fundraising/schools-fundraising-ideas/number-day/resources-25
