Starting school later or part-time

Part-time admission

Reception class places are allocated as full-time from the September after your child’s fourth birthday.

However, you can choose to send your child to school on a part-time basis. 

This may be preferable to deferring your child’s entry until later in the school year as this will give them the opportunity to settle in gradually and start to make friends at the same time as other children in the class. 

If you're considering starting your child part-time, you still need to apply for a new reception school place in the usual way. 

Once your child has been allocated a school place, you need to contact the headteacher to discuss the school's part-time policy and how your child's needs can be met.
