The Government has introduced a law allowing schools to use cohort entry for new entrants at the start of each term, as part of an update to the Education Act.

This allows pupils to start up to eight weeks before their fifth birthday, with youngsters starting in a group, rather than trickling in as they turn five.

Schools that decide to adopt cohort entry must consult with their community and give notice. After this, the school could refuse to enrol a child on their fifth birthday, making them wait until the start of the next school term.
It will be up to parents as to which term the child starts, as long as it is before their sixth birthday.
