DD is 4 at the end of Feb and so will start Primary 1 in August.
I went to register at our local primary this week and have been told the school is closing to be rebuilt for the whole academic year 14-15 so the school is moving to a building in another school for the year.
For the local school the bus would pick up DD at 8:15am however it will be 7:45 for the year the school is shut and drop her back at 4pm. Such a long day for a little one.
As DD is a Feb birthday we have the option to keep her back a year and let her start at five and a half next year which would be my preferred option. DH however is dead against it and wants her to start, esp as our nursery fees are very high and they feel DD is ready for school.
Is it better to be the youngest or oldest in a class?
I don't know what to do for the best - wwyd?
