Joining our Reception in September 2026

Birmingham City Council handles our initial Reception admissions. Children in Birmingham can start school (reception) in the September after their fourth birthday; this means that if your child was born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022, they will be able to start school in September 2026.

We know that choosing your child’s school is an important step; to help you come to an informed decision, please contact our school office to arrange a visit.

'In-Year' Admissions

If you wish your child to start school at any time that is not at the very start of Reception, then this is known as an 'in-year' admission. The school manages these admissions. You can find guidance and the necessary forms by clicking on the link below. Please note that we will need to see your child's birth certificate or passport and proof of address.
