Weir to bring draft bill to NI Assembly to change age children start school

The Education Minister is to bring a draft bill to the NI Assembly in an attempt to change legislation over what age children must be to start their school life. The draft bill is aimed at legislating for some children born prematurely, and those who are ‘summer born’, to benefit from delayed school starting. And the move to allow children to start school a year later has been welcomed by Northern Ireland’s premature baby charity, TinyLife. Peter Weir said the bill would be a major priority and is aiming to have it implemented by the end of the current Assembly term.

Peter Weir to prepare bill on flexible primary school starting age

BBC News By Robbie Meredith Published image copyrightGetty Images Education Minister Peter Weir wants to bring in a law allowing some children to defer starting primary school for a year. Most children in Northern Ireland start school in the September of the school year after their fourth birthday. That is one of the youngest primary school starting ages in Europe. However, children whose birthdays fall between 2 July and 31 August start school in the September following their fifth birthday. That means children can start primary school from ages ranging from four years two months to over five years old. In many other European countries, however, children do not start formal primary school education until they are aged six or even seven.
