Preschool update: Please complete this expression of interest form for our preschool: https://forms.office.com/e/khEw9Lj8xJ As you may remember, back in the autumn term we ran a public consultation to gauge local demand for a preschool to run at the infant base at Winterborne Kingston. Our plans were approved by the Department for Education and the local council. The results of the consultation and responses to all the questions posed can be found here: https://www.dunbury.dsat.org.uk/pre-school-consultation/ The aim is to open a preschool class in September 2025. If for any reason this needs to be delayed, you will be informed as soon as possible. If you are interested in using the preschool, we would be very grateful if you could complete this expression of interest: https://forms.office.com/e/khEw9Lj8xJ by Monday 28th April 2025. If the results of this survey show that demand is still high, bookings will be open towards the end of April / beginning of May 2025. Thank you
