Overview
If your child was born between 1 April and 31 August, you can ask us to delay their reception start date until the September after their fifth birthday.
For Stockport Council schools, the decision is made by us. If the school is an academy or has voluntary aided status, they will make the decision on the request but you should still apply to us.
A summer-born request is different to a deferred admission which allows you to delay starting until the first term after their fifth birthday. If you intend to do this, you should advise the school after you've received your offer of a reception place.
