[jackieglyn]

My friends child was born September 3rd 2005 can anyone please tell me when she will start school?

Many Thanks

Jackie

September 2009

No 2010!

She will start the September just before she turns 5.

So - September 2010.

This is for England schools

Just as she is turning 5.

My child was born july 17th 2005, will she start school sept 09?

Yes, nless you are in a two intake area - in which case it would be January 2010.

It's weird isn't it? My ds is 5 and a half weeks older than his friend, and in the year above her at school.

There are 7 days between my mum and dad's birthdates - but my dad was an academic year ahead of my mum

You've started something now - if my child is 5 in May, will she start the Sept before she's 5 or the following year?

Children start school when they are 5 - the September before they turn 4 (or January before they turn 5 if 2 intake schools)

sept before she is 5.

aug 31st is cut off here-sosept babies are older in the year, and then august babies of the following year are the youngest in theyear..if that makes sense!

It's the Septemeber after the child's 5th birthday in this area, but it does vary depending on the local authority.

Which are are you in DaisySteiner?

I thought all England state schools were the year before a child turns 5.

yes me too hulababy.

Sorry, meant to write Sept after the 4th birthday

Ah, no worries. So, same as rest of England then, lol

But it does vary - our neighbouring authority does something totally differnet so some kids stay at pre-school for an extra two terms after all the other rising-5s started school - I think it's rather a shame as it split up friendship groups.

My DD2 was born Dec 2004 so won't start until Sept 2009. She has 2 years in playschool.

Yes, Sheffield has a two intake sysem - sochidlren born between Sep and end March start in the September; and April to August start the following January.

Was one of the reasons (were other reasons too) we opted out of the state system for April born DD.

my dd2 was born on 30 aug and started school just after her 4th birthday in the september
