Legally children must be in full- time education from the start of the school term after their fifth birthday. School is from Monday to Friday and school times are usually from 08:45 am to 3:30 pm. The phases of schooling are as follows: Nursery – 3 to 5 years old Infant - 5 to 7 years old Juniors – 7 to 11 years old Primary - 5 to11 years old Secondary -11 to16 years old Bracknell has: 3 infant schools 15 infant and primary schools have nursery 3 junior schools classes 24 primary schools 1 school for children with special needs 6 secondary schools There are other private or independent schools where you will need to pay fees.

A junior school will take children from Year 3 through to Year 6. Primary schools take children from Reception/Year 1 to Year 6. At the beginning of Year 6 you will be asked to choose a secondary school for your child. If your child arrives in school after this time, you may need to ask the headteacher for information.
