We believe we have a good argument to defer my summer born son a year and have him start reception at age 5 and 1 month. We have to apply for primary schools this year and then apply to the LA to defer I believe.
However, I have heard that if we are successful, the LA may still force him up a year at senior school age - does anyone know how likely that is or is it just a threat to discourage us from pushing this?
I'm really worried about this - can anyone advise?
