Applying for school

When do you have to apply for school? As in starting reception my little girl is currently in private nursery not connected to a school she’ll be 3 in feb I’m happy to keep her in private nursery until she has to start mainstream school. It’s all a little confusing for me 😂

Are you in the uk? It’s the October following their 3rd birthday then you find out in march what school they got in. I have a little boy the same age but I have an older child so I know

Yeah , so next October is when I should start applying?

Yeah the 1st if I remember rightly

Sept/Oct next year, not this year x

Is the sept / oct the time window to make the applications, which would mean that we’d need to view schools and do our research a good few months before that? Scary thought!

@Katie I think the deadline to apply is Jan 2026, so the application window is quite wide thankfully. X
