School age - when can your child start school?
Reception is the first year of primary school. It comes after Nursery, but before Year 1.
Children in Birmingham can go to school (Reception) in the September after their 4th birthday.
Example
If your child was born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022, they'll be able to start school in September 2025.
When to apply
Parents can apply for a place in the Autumn of the year before their child turns 4 years of age. It’s important that you apply for a place as soon as possible:
- attendance at a nursery class doesn’t give a child automatic priority for a place
- don’t wait until your child is 5 years old, or your preferred school may already be full
You can list up to 3 preferred schools when you apply.
If you wish to look around the school prior to making a decision on which school is best for your child then please contact the school office who will be happy to book an appointment for you.

We are aware that with Grammar Schools in other Local Authorities, you may not receive your test scores after the closing date to apply for your preferences (31 October 2025). However, online applications must be submitted by 31 October 2025 to be classed as on time. Therefore, please ensure that if you are applying for a Grammar School in another Local Authority you include it as a preference on your application.
