Decision Notice

After consideration of the consultation results, Derby City Council has taken the decision to close Walbrook Nursery School and expand the age range and size of Pear Tree Infant School to form a single infant and nursery school for pupils aged 2-7. Please read the Decision Notice for more information.

Consultation

Walbrook Nursery School and Pear Tree Infant School have been operating as federated schools for many years. This means that they share the same Headteacher and Governing Body but have separate financial budgets.

It has been a long-standing aspiration of the Pear Tree and Walbrook Nursery Federation to merge the infant and nursery school to create a single school for pupils aged 2-7.

Following Derby City Council’s successful bid to the Government’s School Rebuilding Programme, it has been confirmed that Pear Tree Infant School will be rebuilt. this is a really exciting project to provide new teaching and learning facilities for the benefit of children, staff and the whole school community.

The Governing Body of the Pear Tree and Walbrook Nursery Federation has approached the Council with a request to consider formally merging the infant and nursery school, to create a single school, within the brand-new Pear Tree Infant School building. A consultation proposal has, therefore, been developed to form a single infant and nursery school for children aged 2-7.
