Enrolment process

If your child turns 5:  

  • before 1 May, they can start primary school at the start of the year.
  • between 1 May and 31 October, they can start reception in term 3 (mid-year intake).
  • after 31 October they can start reception in the following year.

Your child must be at school by their 6th birthday.  

If our school is not your local school, you can still apply to enrol, but enrolment will only be offered if we have places available.  

Children who start reception at the beginning of the year will generally complete 4 terms of reception, while children who start reception through the mid-year intake will complete 6 terms of reception.

Visit the school enrolment section on the department’s website for more information.
