Children Starting School September 2024

Parents of pre-schoolers might find it hard to believe that their little ones will be starting school next year! 

If your child was born between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020 they will be due to start Reception year in September 2024.

There are many factors to take into consideration when choosing the right school and we are more than happy to help you make the right choice.

The application window for Reception 2024 opened on Tuesday 12 September 2023. You can apply online at https://n-somerset.gov.uk/my-services/schools-learning/school-admissions/apply-school-place/applying-school-place (see guide for applying online) download an application form (see below) or contact the school office if you need assistance with obtaining an application form. The deadline for the submission of applications to North Somerset School Admissions is 11:59pm Monday 15 January 2024.

Further information can be found in the Parents' Guide to Starting School, or you can contact School Admissions by email admissions@n-somerset.gov.uk  or telephone 01275 884 078.

It's really important to apply by the relevant closing date or you may not be considered in the first round of applications. If you miss the deadline, you can still apply. Late applications will be processed later in the year but may be less likely to get your preferred school.
