ha ha actually I have a thousand questions but thanks to the internet and mumsnet I'm figuring out most things. But can anyone help me with these questions:
- DS is 7 in May so he'll be in Year 3 in September. I see that means he'll miss the Key Stage 1 exam. Does that matter? Do I need to find a way for him to take it? Will they make him take it in September?
- DD is 9 in August. In Dublin she started school at 5 instead of 4, so by school years she's completed she would be in Year 4, but by her birth date she'll be in Year 5, which it looks like the school will insist on. Is there any place I can get some catching-up material for what she'll miss in Year 4?
- We're moving in July, and could concievably be in our new town for the last week of school. I had planned on not sending the kids to their new schools until September, but is there any benefit in sending them that week in July? (the school we like best is our catchment area but full, if we get one of the kids in for this year would it make it more likely to get siblings in for September)?
