I am sure this problem has been addressed heaps of time on here already but I am really worried about my children starting school, they are both August babies, my daughter is 31 Aug. I just feel that they are too young to be starting school just after they turn four. I feel really strongly about this and am going to try anything I can to avoid them starting school straight after their 4th birthdays. I understand that I can hold them back until the term after they turn five but they would then miss out on reception year and start straight into year one, which is obviously pointless. How can I find out about different schools or schooling methods where there would be more flexibility on when they start.
