We're planning a move abroad soon with our DC where they will attend a British School. Dd's birthday is right at the end of August which means she is struggling at this end of the school year as she is so exceptionally tired. Her teachers have said they've noticed a decline in her level of work and she is finding friendships very hard as she lacks the emotional maturity of the children almost a year older than her.
My question is that the country we are moving to starts the school term on August 28th/29th and we would have the choice for her to re-do Year 1 or go to Year 2. We'd love for her to re-do Year 1 and be the eldest as opposed to the very youngest but we're worried about what will happen on our return. Is there any chance that she will be able to enter a school at the year she has been working in abroad or would she have to go to the year group with her actual age group, therefore missing a whole year and still being the youngest? Has anyone done this or known anyone who has?
