Dear Pre-School families, 

Have your say on Preschool provision at Rotherfield Primary School 

Following discussion with the current Trustees of Rotherfield Pre-School, the Governing Board of Rotherfield Primary School are exploring options to provide a Pre-School Provision within Rotherfield. 

This would be on the site of the current Rotherfield Pre-School. 

The proposal aims to integrate pre-school provision into the school's current Foundation Stage (Reception) offer. 

We are exploring different options for how this could work in practice, but all options would allow us to provide places for up to 40 children. 

As part of this process, the Governing Board has spoken with the current Pre-school trustees and the local authority, and we are now consulting with: 

• Parents and carers of children at the school and pre-school 
• Staff at Rotherfield School and Rotherfield Pre-school 
• Local schools and early years providers 
• Members of the local community 
• Anyone else with an interest in early years provision in the area 

Rotherfield Primary School’s Governing Board will consider all comments received during the consultation before making a decision on the proposal. 

Consultation dates: 

Opens: Friday 4 July 2025

Closes: Friday 1 August 2025

Board decision: Tuesday 2 September 2025
