Banks Lane Infant and Nursery School is a community infant and nursery, co-educational day school.  It is nondenominational.  Banks Lane Infant and Nursery School is situated in Offerton and is accessible from Hempshaw Lane and George Street West.

There are currently 240 pupils on roll in (April 26) and 90 places for the reception age group will be made available in the new school year. We have 3 classes in each year group. Children are taught in classrooms in single classes. Each year group team has a team of Teaching Assistants who are placed to meet the needs of children across the year group.
The school also has a 40 place nursery unit, accommodating 10 part-time and 30 full time/30 hour places. The nursery building was purpose built in 2015 and incorporates a large, bright open plan space with bi-folding doors onto an outdoor learning area, kitchen, snack area, staff room, utility area and parent meeting room. Our nursery building is a separate building situated at the back of school with its own entrance from George Street West.

The current school building was constructed in 1952 and has recently undergone significant refurbishment, including roof replacement, full rewiring and lighting as well as radiator and pipe work replacement. There are 9 classrooms as well as a number of resource rooms, main hall, dining room, library and computer suite. We have 2 large playgrounds, an allotment/planting area, woodland area, an enclosed ‘calm garden’, reception outdoor learning area , Year 1 outdoor learning area and a large field, which is shared with Banks Lane Junior School.

Please note that children do not automatically transfer from an infant school to the associated junior school when they move into Year 3.

Parents/carers must submit a separate application to Stockport Council for a place in Year 3 at the associated junior school when their child is in Year 2. Information about how and when to apply will be shared by the school and the Council at the appropriate time during Year 2.
