St John’s CofE Primary School, part of the Futura Learning Partnership, used School-based Nursery Capital Grant funding to create a new preschool class within an existing space. The initiative addresses rising demand from families in the area, offering both 15- and 30-hour funded places. The project involved collaboration with the local authority, diocese, and professional services team to plan build works, staff recruitment, and statutory paperwork. Key considerations included space design for safety, pupil movement, and accessibility. Marketing focused on existing parent networks and social media, with phased enrollment to manage capacity. The school emphasized the importance of early engagement with local authority teams to streamline funding processes and ensure long-term viability of the provision.
