When to start

There are specific ages to start school.

tarting primary school or reception

If your child turns 5 before 1 May, they can start primary school (the first year is known as reception) at the beginning of the year.

If your child turns 5 on or after 1 May, they can start the next year.

All children must be enrolled at school by 6 years of age, which is the compulsory school starting age.

Early or delayed entry to school are options that may be possible in specific circumstances, where it is in a child’s best educational interests. If you think this applies to your child, talk to the principal.
