Children in Birmingham can go to school (Reception) in the September after their 4th birthday.

National Offer Day 16th April 2020
We strongly encourage you to accept the place offered to your child.
This will not affect your child’s position on any waiting lists for other schools you have not been offered a place at or any appeals you may submit. Accepting the offer will ensure that your child has a school place for September.
Your child’s name will be automatically added to the waiting list for any higher preference schools than the one offered.
Being on a waiting list does not mean that a place will become available.
More information about waiting lists will be available after National Offer Day.
After places are offered, you will have the right of appeal for any school you were refused a place at.
More information about appeals will be available after National Offer Day.
Parents can apply for a place in the Autumn of the year before their child turns 4 years of age. It’s important that you apply for a place as soon as possible:
You can list up to 3 preferred schools when you apply.

You must accept or refuse the offers made by the deadline of 16 March 2020.
Waiting lists will be created three weeks following the offer of school places.
