I'm assuming this can't be done as there's absolutely zero search results, but is it possible to enter a child into junior school a year early?
My daughter (Year 1, just turned 6) is on waiting lists for a local school as we've moved and she's still being driven and bussed in to her old school 4 miles away.
Her younger sibling has just been allocated a place at the infant school next to us.
The junior school is adjacent to this infant school, and as I'm suffering quite significantly financially with transporting her to the old school, putting her in juniors a year early might be convenient (for me). I have explored every conceivable avenue re: affording transport costs, in year admissionetc etc by the way.
Her cousin who turned 7 this January, starts Junior school this September. He won't be 8 until next January. I assumed you had to be 8 to start Juniors, but their school merges year groups, so perhaps that's the reason.
The idea was presented to me by someone at the school gates who knew of Australian expats returning and putting their child straight into Juniors a year early (Their child is also 6) so it must be possible. I just can't seem to find any google results on such a procedure.
