New Entrants
New Entrant Information
At Pinehill School, our new entrant students start school via cohort entry. Cohort entry is when a school has two entry points per term for children to start school after they have turned five:
- first day of term
- mid-point during the term
Cohort entry is about helping children to settle better at school. There is evidence that starting school alongside other children helps them build relationships and supports a smoother entry into school life.

To help your child transition to school, they will be given two school visits prior to starting at Pinehill.
We look forward to welcoming your family to our school community.
