School starting age
Most children start school full-time in the September after their fourth birthday. This means they’ll turn 5 during their first school year.
For example, if your child’s fourth birthday is between 1 September 2023 and 31 August 2024 they will usually start school in September 2024.
If you want your child to start later
If you do not think your child is ready to start school at the usual time, they can start later - as long as they’re in full-time education by the time they reach ‘compulsory school age’.
They can start:
- part time
- part-way through the year
- in the next school year, in the September after they turn 5
You’ll still need to School Admissions at the same time as everyone else. You request your child’s later start when you apply.
If your child starts in the September after they turn 5
Your child will go into Year One NOT Reception. We do not accept any deferred places.
