Leaving school

Children whose 16th birthday is between 1 September 2010 and 31 August 2011, will officially
leave school on the last Friday in June 2011 (24 June 2011). They will not be able to be employed until after that date.

Exceptionally, when a school term starts after 1 September, a pupil whose 16th birthday falls before the start of term, may be entitled to leave at the end of the previous school year. However, this would not normally be expected and it is essential that you discuss this first with the school.
