Starting in EYFS 2024
Children can start school in reception at the beginning of the academic year following their fourth birthday.
Therefore, children born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020 can start primary school from September 2024.
Applications received after 15 January, without exceptional reasons, are considered late. Late applications won't be processed until all the applications received on time have been allocated. This may result in your child not being offered a school place at you preferred school.
The Nation Offer Day for infant and primary school is 16 April 2024. You will be able to log back into your account to view the outcome of your application. You will also receive an email.
