What age do kids start school in the uk?
They must start by the term following their fifth birthday. They can start in the September of the school year in which they will become five. This means that some kids will start school as early as age four and a day (if their birthday is August 31st, school starts September 1st, and their parents opt to send them as soon as possible). And others might start as late as about 5 and 4 months (if their 5th birthday falls right at the start of the summer term at the end of April, and their parents opt to send them as late as possible).
