When can my child start school?

Most children start school in the September following their fourth birthday. However, by law a child does not have to start school until the term following their fifth birthday.

All reception age children are offered full time places when they start at our school. If parents want their child to attend part time from September, or to delay entry, please contact us directly to arrange this.
