Cohort Entry for Five Year Olds
Cohort Entry for Five Year Olds
In Term 2 of 2025, Lepperton School Te Kura o Manutahi will introduce a cohort entry system for five-year-olds.
This means that children turning five after April 28, 2025, will start school on specific dates throughout the year (see dates below). Research shows that starting school in small groups helps children build friendships and makes the transition to school smoother.
While children must start school by their sixth birthday, they can’t start before turning five. For example, if your child turns five on August 20, 2025, they can begin school on October 6, 2025, or on any of the following cohort entry dates before they turn six.
