We now offer childcare from 7:30am to 6:00pm each day from Little Cypress right up to year 6 and we provide childcare in the school holidays. There was the addition of a Children's Centre to the Infant site and, as government funding and policies changed, the de-designation of the Centre and the move to our current provision of offering education to 2 year olds. Nursery children can now stay all day if their families want them to. A federation was formed of the two separate schools, which was followed by a formal, permanent amalgamation, leading to the present situation of one "Cypress Primary School", led by one head teacher. In 2012 and 2013, we admitted 4 reception classes, not the usual 3. So two of our year groups have 120 children in them. This was to support the recent population increase, especially in boroughs like Croydon. Due to the increase in the number of forms of entry, major works have taken place on the Infant Site, and will also occur on the Juniors, to expand and improve the asset of the school sites and better equip us to be able to accommodate the growth in pupil numbers. As you can see, a combination of being forward thinking and creative, a popular first choice for parents, and having Local Authority confidence in the school has meant that things move on and improve at Cypress. The number of children we can now admit from nursery to Year 6 is 742, plus up to 48 two year olds. When full, that is 790 pupils in total.
