September 2025 school entry
Most children start school at the start of the school year following their fourth birthday. They can't start school before this. Unless you decide to educate your child at home, your child must start school by the school term following their fifth birthday.
You can apply for a primary or infant school place starting school in September 2025 for a child born between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021.
