At Clifton All Saints Academy we delighted to offer a caring and nurturing pre-school setting for children from the term after they turn 2 years 6 months.

We have three intakes per year: 

  • September (applications due by 31 March)
  • January (applications due by 30 September)
  • April (applications due by 31 January)

How places are offered

Applications are considered based on date of birth, and we welcome children from both within catchment and out of catchment. Pleaes note, a pre-school place does not guarantee a Reception place at the school. Applications for Reception must be made separately via Central Bedfordshire Council.

How to apply

Applications are online using our registration forms:
