When is the right time for my child to start school?
The law says that your child must be in full-time education from the beginning of the term after his or her 5th birthday. However in Leicester, we admit children full-time to Foundation 2 year in the Autumn Term following their 4th Birthday. Children may attend part-time in a nursery (Foundation 1) for a year or more before their full-time start date, from the time that they are 3 years old.
