#### 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 2022 and 31 August 2023, they will be able to start school in September 2027.

#### 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.

### Secondary School Applications

**You must apply when you child starts in Year 6. You must submit an online application form by 31 October 2026.**

You will receive an email confirmation that you have submitted your application form. Please ensure to check your SPAM or Junk folder.  It is important that you check your confirmation email to make sure everything is correct. You can amend your preferences right up to **11.59 p.m.** on the **closing date (31 October 2026). [Click here for details on how to apply.](https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/info/20119/school_admissions/1778/apply_for_a_secondary_school_year_7_place)**

Waiting lists will be created three weeks following the offer of school places.  Your child’s name will be automatically added to the waiting list for any higher preference schools than the one offered (unless your child did not achieve a high enough score in the grammar school selection test).  Being on a waiting list does not mean that a place will become available.
