Cut-Off Date

At Milford School, the cut-off birthdate for children to move from Year1 to Year 2 is 31 May. This means that a child who has a birthdate and starts school before or on 31 May will go into Year 2 in the next calendar year. Any children whose birthdays fall on or after 1 June are considered to be New Entrants and will go into Year 1 the following calendar year.

We carefully look at all children’s progress if their birthdays fall within a month either side of 31 May to ensure they are suited socially, academically and physically to the Year level their birthday puts them in. We will only move children out of their age group under exceptional circumstances and after full consultation with parents.
