OXON: Plans to allow two Oxfordshire schools to take younger children have been approved.

Yesterday Melinda Tilley, Oxfordshire County Council cabinet member for children, education and families, approved alterations to the lower age limits of Hill View Primary School, Banbury, and St Peter’s Primary School, Cassington, in order for them to take nursery aged children.

Hill View will take up to 40 children aged three to four, while St Peter’s will take up to 30.
