Starting School - Reception Year

Children starting school for the first time in Reception Year will do so in the September following their fourth birthday.  If your child is, or will be, 4 years old by 31st August 2024 you must apply for a place in Reception Year for September 2024.  You can apply here - Apply for Reception Year - September 2024.  If your child attends Dunmore Nursery, please remember that you still have to apply for a place in Reception Year for your child. The closing date for 'on time' applications is Monday 15th January 2024. Please don't worry though if you have not already applied, applications will still be accepted and processed after this date.
