My dd is in year one at a very small school where the classes are mixed. She is a winter birthday and one of the oldest in her year. They work in ability groups and she has been doing her work with the Year Twos who are mainly summer birthdays. Last week they did some SATS papers for practice and dd scored 2a's.
Her teacher spoke to me and asked how I would feel about her skipping year 2 and going straight into year 3 which is in a different classroom. I don't really know what to do. She has friends in both year groups but I don't want her to feel socially alienated. I also don't want to push her too hard but don't want her to be bored either.
Does anyone have any experience of making this kind of decision?
Thanks
