[quote=Anonymous]Interesting. Up until now you couldn't hold your kid back at all. http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/sep/08/parents-of-summer-born-children-get-right-to-delay-start-of-school "Parents of summer-born children are to be given the right to delay their child’s education for a year, with the reassurance that they will not then be forced to skip a year to catch up with their peers.....It is currently up to the authority responsible for school admissions to make the decision on which year group a summer-born five-year-old should be admitted to. A child is not legally required to go to school until they are five, but some parents who have delayed their summer-born child starting school have then been told they will have to skip a year and lose a whole year’s education. Under the new rules, parents can now expect their child to remain in the same year group throughout."[/quote]
