Children normally start school between the ages of 4yrs 6mths and 5yrs 6mths. Arrangements for entry to primary schools in Moray are on a once a year basis - at the start of the new school session in August each year. Children whose fifth birthday is between 1st March that year and the last day of February of the following year will automatically be admitted to school.

Parents have a right to request that children younger than this be admitted to school. The Moray Council is required to look at each case individually to determine whether or not the education normally provided in the school is suited to the ability and aptitude of the child.
