How do I apply to delay or defer or entry to primary school?

Most children start school in the September after their fourth birthday.

All children must receive full-time education from the start date of their first school term following their fifth birthday.

Parents may seek a place for their child outside of their normal age group, for example, if the child is summer born.

More information about delayed entry or deferred entry is available here.

 

How do I apply for a place at Weston if my child is joining the school after reception?

If you would like your child to join us after the start of their reception year you need to firstly contact the school to find out if there is space in that year group. If there is we will manage the transfer process with you through the school. Please contact us directly if you would like to know more.
