This is my first post long time lurking, not to confident about posting. Be gentle.
My dd1 is in 1st class the equivalent to p2 as we are in Ireland all of the children had to be aged 4 by April to start junior infants in September. They are now average 6.5 to 7. There is 34 pupils in the class from all over the world they are all very innocent the school focus on anti bullying. Last term a young Romany girl joined the class she was 7.5 at the time now 8.5. Her cousin boy aged 9 has now been placed in the class. I can see he is behind boys is age and hasn't got great English either.
These children like all children have a right to an education. It is happening in a lot of the classes now, a 7 year old started in senior infants p2 was allowed to skip p1 was considered to old. I do not the answer to the problem or what the school is expected to do. Aibu to be concerned.
