Reception Admissions

Summer born delayed entry information

At Baldwins Gate Primary School, we understand that starting school is a big step for both children and their families. If your child was born during the summer term (between 1 April and 31 August), you may be considering whether to delay their start in Reception. We are happy to discuss this option with you and support you in making the decision that is right for your child. If you would like more information about deferring your child’s school place or starting them in Reception the following year, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office—we’re here to help or use the links below to find out more information.
