We don't live in the UK but would like DS to go to an english school here.
The school have told us that they have a very strict policy whereby all children must be potty trained and completely independant before being accepted in school. Which means they have to pull their pants down/up, clean themselves, wash hands without any help at all.
DS will be 3.8 yrs in september (he would have gone in to the early years section). I really need to know if this is the norm in the UK?
Do all schools in the UK expect small children to have such high standards of independance?
At what age were your children able to do this?

At what age are kids expected to be completely independant in the toilet? How strict are schools in the UK about this?
