Media request: experience of children starting formal education later

Hi there,

We've received the following media request.

Thanks,
MNHQ

I'm writing a nuanced, sensitive and thoughtful piece on whether children in England start formal education too young, and how it works in other countries when children begin at 7.

Has anyone in the community got experience of teaching in a country where children begin school later, or is from a country where kids begin school at 7 but they teach here and have feelings about that? Or they themselves started school at 7 or have a child who has.

Looking for comparisons between later starting and earlier starting and wondered if anyone has experiences or insight they might be kind enough to share.

I'm on [email protected]
