Two Points of Entry to be introduced from September 2009

Following the recent consultation on two points of entry for four year olds into full time education, the Council has concluded that four year old children will be admitted to full-time schooling at either September or January.  This will take effect from September 2009.

Therefore:

• Children born between 1 September and 31 December (Autumn born children) will continue to start school at the beginning of September.
• Children born between I January and 31 March (Spring born children) will be admitted to full-time school in September instead of January.
• Children born between 1 April and 30 April (Summer born children) will continue to be admitted to full-time school at January.
• Children born between 1 May and 31 August (Summer born children) will be admitted to full time school at January instead of after Easter.
• Three year olds will continue to be admitted part-time 3 times per year and this includes after Easter.
