Admissions Information 

Full and Part-time admission to a school Reception year and entry to a maintained Nursery Class

All children are entitled to:

• 15 hours free early education at the beginning of the term following their third birthday
• A full-time place in a Reception class at the beginning of the academic year (September) following their fourth birthday

Parents are able to apply for full-time places in the Reception year from September. The law makes if clear that if parents so choose they may defer full-time entry until later in the year – certainly no later than the term after the child’s fifth birthday (statutory school age).
