Children start at the infant school in the academic year (1st Sept-31st Aug) when they will be turning 5 years old. We stagger the children into school over a two-week period when starting school in Reception.

If your child's birthday is between:

• 1st Sept 2021 - 31st Aug 2022 - Start School Sept 2026
• 1st Sept 2022 - 31st Aug 2023 - Start School Sept 2027
• 1st Sept 2023 - 31st Aug 2024 - Start School Sept 2028
