Childcare and education up to 16 years

Childcare

The availability of childcare and education will vary depending on where you live in the UK.

England

You can get help paying for child care depending on your circumstances, including:

• 15 hours of free child care per week for all children aged 3 and 4
• Extra 15 hours of free child care if you work and your child is 3 and 4 years old
• free child care if your child is 2 years old and has a very low income or receives certain benefits (page not translated).

You can also get child care reimbursement if you work or get Universal Credit.

30 Hours of Free Child Care

If your Host Family is already on the 30 Hours of Free Child Care, you can also apply for and use hours if you are eligible. nine0005

Both households will be treated as separate households even if you have the same address.

You can find out more about 30 hours of free childcare (page not translated).

Duty Free Child Care

Duty Free Child Care is another option available for children ages 0-11 (or 16 if your child has a disability).

Under this program, for every £8 you put in, the government will add another £2. This money can be used to pay for child care, including:

• breakfast clubs
• clubs after school
• caregivers
• kindergartens
• game groups
• babysitters
• au pairs

Provided they are registered providers.

You can get up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 per year) for each of your children to help with childcare costs. The amount increases to £1,000 every 3 months if the child is disabled (up to £4,000 per year). nine0005

You are eligible for this program if you are:

• single
• working
• Earn a minimum of £152 per week and a maximum of £100,000 per year

If you have a partner, you can still qualify for this program if you both earn a minimum of £152 per week and a maximum of £100,000 per year.

This program can be used along with 30 hours of free childcare available to people who work. nine0005

If you have already received Universal Credit or Tax Credits and opened a Tax Free Childcare account, you will no longer receive any other benefits.

If you’re not sure if this program is right for you, you can get help and a free benefit “check” from Citizens Advice or independent advice centers.

To learn more about your options, see Choosing Child Care Services.

Talk to someone in your local government for more information or answer a few questions to get child care. nine0005

School Holiday Activities and Meals (HAF)

A government funded program for children on free school meals to attend free activities such as summer camps. Children who do not receive free school meals may pay to attend.

Your local government may also have other organized activities for children during the school holidays. Check their websites for more information. nine0005

Wales

You can get help paying for child care, including:

• child care for ages 3 and 4
• support for parents during training or job search
• Your local Family Information Services (FIS) can give you free childcare advice

Find out more about helping pay for child care.

Northern Ireland

You can access a certain number of free childcare services depending on your circumstances. nine0005

Learn more about childcare in Northern Ireland.

Scotland

In Scotland, childcare is free for some children in certain situations.

If your child is 3 or 4 years old, you can get up to 1,140 hours of funded early childhood education and care per year.

This works like this:

• 30 hours per week if used during term
• about 22 hours a week if used for 9 years0012

If your child is under 3 years old, you can access funded early learning, but this depends on your local government. Contact your local government to discuss your circumstances with your child.

Find out more about early learning and childcare.

Education

England

In England, children must start full-time education as soon as they reach school age. This could be December 31st, March 31st, or August 31st after their fifth birthday, whichever is the date directly after their birthday. They must study until they reach the age of 16. nine0005

The local government that supports you and your family will help you with this.

Schools are open from September to July of the following year. This is called the school year.

The school year is divided into semesters and there is a break before each new semester (when the school is closed). The local government usually posts these dates on its website.

You may face legal action or a fine if your children do not attend school or you do not homeschool them. nine0005

See details about school attendance and absence.

Children will go to:

• primary school aged 4 to 11
• high school from 11 to 16 years old
• to high school (sixth form) from 16 years old to 18 years old

Some areas also have colleges for young people between the ages of 16 and 18.

Your child or children will be in a specific “year group” based on their age:

In England, children can study in different ways:

• in a free publicly funded school (learn more about different types of schools)
• at an independent school (also known as a private school), which usually charge
• at home (known as homeschooling or homeschooling)

There are a small number of university technical colleges (UTC) and studio schools that teach children STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) skills and technical qualifications that are valued by employers. It is mainly for children aged 14 and over. nine0005

You can contact your local government to find publicly funded schools in your area and admission criteria. Find out what your local government is.

Your child’s school entry (enrollment)

September is the start of the school year, but it is likely that your child or children will start school later, depending on when you arrive in the UK. This is known as the income within a year.

Entry during the year

Entry during the year is when you apply for:

• a place in kindergarten or 7th grade after the start of the school year
• place in any other year group at any other time

Ask your local government if you need to apply to a school or local government to get a place for your child in a school. Your local government website should have a school admission form for the year. nine0005

Some schools will still have places available for enrollment throughout the year, but the more popular schools are likely to be full. Your local government can help you find schools with available places in your area.

If your child is offered a place, they will start at the beginning of the next semester.

Choosing a School

There are many resources available to help you choose a school.

You can find schools near you by searching in the Get School Information section. You can choose to search by distance from your address and by school type. nine0005

Each local government publishes an admissions guide on its website that lists all local schools.

You can compare the characteristics of the schools you are considering. If you would like to explore this issue in more detail, all schools have an [Ofsted] Inspection Report (unless the school has only been open for a short time).

Ofsted reviews schools in England to make sure they teach well, students get good grades, and the schools care about the overall well-being of the child. nine0005

Coordinated admissions and when to apply

If your child or children start school at the beginning of the school year, the process is called “coordinated admissions”. Your local government decides which children go to which school.

To apply for a place at a school, you must complete the Common Local Government Application Form (CAF). You will find it on the school admissions pages on the local government website, or you can ask them to send you a copy by mail. You will need to indicate which schools you would prefer for your child. nine0005

If your child is 4 or 5 years old by September

You must apply for a school place by January 15 of the year your child starts school.

If your child turns 11 by September

You must apply for a 7th grade place no later than October 31 of the previous year.
You can indicate which school you would prefer for your child, but the closer your home is to a school, the more likely your child will be offered a place at that school. Your child is less likely to get a place in their chosen schools if you miss the application deadline. nine0005

The local government will try to give you a place at the school you prefer, but if your choice is not available, you will be given a place at another school with available places.

You will find out in which school your child was offered a place on the following dates:

• March 1 next year for admission to 7th grade
• April 16 next year for admission to the kindergarten class

How places are allocated

Each school has a certain number of available places. If there are more children than places available, the school must use its admissions policy to decide who gets the place.

The school’s admissions policy must be posted on their website. Their admissions policy will explain what criteria you will need to meet in order to get a spot.

What you may need to show before you are offered a place

Some schools have “coverage areas”. If you live in the school’s area, your child will likely be offered a seat. You may need to show something, such as a letter that confirms your address. nine0005

If the school is religious (eg Anglican, Catholic, Jewish or Muslim), they may give priority to children from religious families. The school may ask you to complete an additional application form to find out if you belong to a particular religion.

You may also be asked to provide proof of your child’s date of birth when they are offered a seat.

If you didn’t get a place at the school you wanted

You may not get a place at the school you chose. nine0005

If this happens, you can ask that your child be placed on the school’s waiting list (if there is one). Your child may attend a different school and remain on the waiting list for the school you want in case a place becomes available.

You should be given the opportunity to appeal the decision of the reception authorities. The Appeals Board is independent of the school and the appeal can be done virtually.

You can ask someone to represent you, or you can present your position to the panel yourself. nine0005

You can appeal for a place in the school you would like, even if your child is already attending a different school.

Read the Appeals Guide.

Wales

Parents and guardians should contact their local government for information about applying for a place at the school.

• Primary school places
• high school places
• See more about school admissions in Wales

nine0017

Northern Ireland

Every child between the ages of 4 and 16 is entitled to a school place. If your child is eligible to attend elementary or post-primary school, you must apply for their place.

See applying for a place at a school for more information.

Scotland

Scotland provides free schooling for all children aged 4.5 to 18.

Your local government is responsible for schooling in the area where you live. You can find complete information on applying for all school places and placing applications. nine0005

Children and Young People with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Most schools and colleges are expected to identify and meet the needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities.

In England, your local government may be able to offer additional support and information. You can find your local government here.

Scotland

Scotland has a different service than Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in England (SEND), but your child will still receive support if they need it through the Additional Need for Support (ASL). nine0005

Additional Support Needs (ASN) is a term used to describe a wide range of needs. It also includes exposure to children from military families, for example:

• Transitions
• interrupted training
• solution to the problem of separation and loss

This includes short or long term needs. ASN in Scotland includes requirements defined as SEND in England.

There is a Scottish Counseling Service to provide additional training support. You can use this service to find information about when your child may be eligible for additional support.

Wales

You can find more information about children with special educational needs in the guide for guardians and parents.
