My DD has Downs Syndrome and is currently in Year 4 mainstream school, she started in reception a year below her chronological age group. So agewise she would already be in Year 5. She will probably go to special school at secondary transfer. LEA are saying if she stays in maistream she could carry on through in her current cohort group but special school will not allow that so effectively she would have to transfer at end of year 5, straight into year 7, thus missing a year. Is this right?
