DS1 has a late August birthday. He will be sitting 8+ entrance exams in around 18 months time if we continue down this route (he's not going to try the 7+ entries next year). I am concerned at him being the youngest in the year etc and would rather he were the oldest for several reasons, including self-confidence. Does anyone have any experience of putting a child back at year at this stage, i.e. sitting for 7+ entrance even though technically entitled to 8+? Would an independent school allow this?
