Entry age

Your child will be automatically admitted to school in August if his or her fifth birthday falls between 1 March of that same year and the last day of February of the following year.

You can, however, make a request for early entry to school for a child whose fifth birthday falls after the above period.

 

Registering your child for primary school

If your child is due to start school in August, he or she should be registered in your local primary school before the end of the proceeding January. Local advertisements issued in January each year provide full details on how to register your child.   Advance notice of the actual dates will be placed in the local press and information will be available from local nurseries and playgroups. Notice is also given through school newsletters and this website.

Parents wishing to arrange to look around the school should contact the head teacher.

Where parents and children reside outwith the Kildrum area, the child must be registered at the local school and a placing request submitted to Education and Families.
