hoping to move to the English education system.
child would be one of oldest in year as mid Sept b'day.
due to the system we have been in there is a chance child could start 1 year below (Y5) which would mean would be quite a bit older than some others in class.
This chance is because moving across from Scottish system where child is sitting 1 year behind anyway. Child has dyslexia and struggles academically and gets bullied and also is young' socially but looks older physically.
Y5 would mean child could start Middle (state) school with all the others.
And not have Sats at end of 1st year in new system.
If teased about age could just say 'it's because I came from Scotland?'
any opinions on advisability of this, please?
