our daughter is due to start school next September. We learned today that the classes are merged from ages 5 to 9. So 5 and 6 year olds in one class, 7 and 8 in another etc. This means in some instances children with be two years apart, depending when they are born, but in the same class?

surely this is crazy? Development is huge over a year at that age?

My kids went to a small village primary school with a total of four classes covering ages 4-11. Obviously it depends on the school but in our case it worked fine.
