My daughter is just finishing her reception year and her primary state education school want to move her up to year 2. At first when the head called me yesterday this massaged my, "mummy ego" but in retrospect my instincts are saying not to do it. She is 5 (born Feb 2006.) She is a bright child and has great social skills but I am concerned about her emotional well being. I also worry about her having to potentially repeat a year at some point as presumably the education system does not allow children to leave early? Mostly I just want her to be happy and with her peers. I have already called the school and requested an appointment to talk this through. I guess then we will have to see how she feels about the idea too. To be honest I wish the dilemma had never arisen I feel damned if I do and damned if I don't to some extent. Can anyone advise me please? x
