We understand that finding the right school for your little one is a significant decision, and we’re here to make the process as seamless as possible. It all begins with determining the ideal year of entry for your child.

Our school thrives as a diverse community, welcoming families from across the globe. Whether you’re relocating from near or far, understanding when your child should start nursery or school can be a puzzle. That’s why we’ve designed this convenient tool to assist you.

For Nursery, children can join us any time after their second birthday in either our Cynets class (for age 2-3 yrs) or our Swans class (for age 3-4 yrs). When it comes to Reception, the they join us as ‘rising 4’ in the September after their fourth birthday.

If you’re exploring the possibility of an occasional place in any year group beyond Reception, refer to the table below for a clear overview of which year group your child should be in for each calendar year.
