Repeating a year

My daughter is age 7 and is in primary 4 in Scotland. It’s a small school with only one other child in her year group and 8 children in the class overall. The nearest child is nearly a whole year older than her. Academically she does well but emotionally she really struggles. She is quite immature and in hindsight we wished we had been told of the option to have her start a year later. There is child in her class she does not along with and we have had problems since day 1 of school- it’s not as far as bullying but let’s just say my daughter hates going to school and we regularly have tears and she’s very sad to have gone back. It was like having a different child in lockdown she was so happy. Has anyone had experience with a child repeating a year? We feel she would be happier in P3 as one of the older ones in that class instead of the very youngest in hers. She would be away from the class she finds distressing. Has anyone done similar? A different school would be an option but her brother goes to the same school is so settled and thriving. Any advice welcome!
