We strongly recommend registering your child’s details with your local school before their third birthday. We will then send you information about applying for a school place approximately one year before they are due to start school.

Please go to the starting school for September 2026 for information on the starting school admissions process if your child was born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022.
If you apply late, your chances of getting a preferred school are much more limited.
