The app is extremely easy to use. I found the additional year group specific information to be very helpful. I’ll certainly be using the app in future.

After many years of being in the registrar role within several schools, it’s the best and most accurate tool I have had access to!

All school ages of UK children are calculated on the 1st September, as this is the start of the UK academic school year and runs through to 31st August in the following year. For example a child with a birthday of 21st September 2004 would be age 7 on 1st September 2012 so would be in year 3 from 1st September 2012.
