Deferral of Pre-School or Primary school places

Deferral for September 2022

Parents or guardians of some children can now choose to defer school places by one year. This means that children born between 1st April and 1st July  (including both dates), or any premature child who was born before 1st April but was due to be born on or after 1st April, are eligible to defer pre-school or primary school this year if they choose.  For further information see: https://nidirect.gov.uk/articles/deferral-pre-school-or-primary-school-places
