Parents of children turning five in the academic year 2016/17 are being reminded by education chiefs that they must register with a school well in advance.
Pupils are admitted to schools’ reception classes at the beginning of the academic year in which they reach their fifth birthday.
In order to help schools allocate staff and plan resources, parents are required to register their child with a school as soon as possible.
Catchment areas exist for the island’s primary schools.
Alternatively, contact the Department of Education and Children on 685820 or email admin@doe.gov.im
Andrew Shipley, the manager of legal and administrative services at the department, said: ‘Parents of children who are five on or after September 1, 2016, should contact the relevant school as soon as possible to register their child for the start of the academic year 2016/17, which begins on Wednesday, September 7, 2016.’
