Children Starting School September 2025

Parents of preschoolers might find it hard to believe that their little ones will be starting school next year! 

If your child was born between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021 they will be due to start Reception year in September 2025.

There are many factors to take into consideration when choosing the right school and we are more than happy to help you make the right choice.

Completed paper applications can be emailed or posted using the contact details on the application form.

If you are posting your application, it is recommended that you obtain independent proof of postage, such as recorded delivery. Please be aware that the application will need to reach North Somerset Council before the deadline.

All applications are processed by North Somerset Council School Admissions. Applications can be returned to the council, in person, by post or electronically.

It's really important to apply by the relevant closing date or you may not be considered in the first round of applications. If you miss the deadline, you can still apply. Late applications will be processed later in the year but may be less likely to get your preferred school.
