Deadlines and dates

If your child was born between 1 October 2020 and 30 September 2021, they will start school in August 2027. If your child was born between 1 October 2021 and 31 March 2022, they can also be enrolled in school in August 2027 – at the parents’ request – if there is no need for language support and the enrolment examination for early enrolment is positive. Registration at your primary school must take place between 5 and 16 October 2026. You can register for school attendance at IMS before, at the same time or after registering at your primary school.

Applications for the 2027/28 school year are now open. We regularly organise work shadowing for the future Year 1. You can put your name on the waiting list for Years 2 to 6. We will be accepting applications for the 2026/27 school year (Year 1) from August 2025. An open day will be held in September 2026.
