what age do they start school?

[sophxx]

I have read that they dont have to start school legally till they are 5,as Dion was born in august I believe I can wait untill the sept after his 5th birthday......

i was born in august abd had had to go to school at 3 cos school term started a week b4 my birthday but the cut of date for the year was 31st august! x

Kids cant go to school until they are actaully 4 , even if there birthday is one day after the first day they have missed the cut off date so will have to start at 5.

Carly will be 5 when she starts as her birthday is a week after school started so is in nursery for another year.

However nursery its 2.5 years ( depending on areas) - 4 years old. Half days which will be fully payed by the goverment from 3 years.
