Admissions to lower schools
Children are normally admitted to school at the start of or during the reception year, that is the school year in which they become 5. Parents of children born between 1 September 2004 and 31 August 2005 who are due to be admitted in September 2009 will be required to apply to the local authority for a place in the reception class.
