August Born Child

Hi, my son is a August born child, I’m currently looking at schooling for him as he potentially starts September 2020.
This has probably already been asked a lot but I’m confused on whether to defer him or not.
What are parents opinions? Are there any benifits from doing this?

I kept my late August son back a year, no regrets. No SEN, I just noticed that he struggles with social situations and large groups of people and couldn’t see him being happy in school at 4. My husband wasn’t working and my LA was fine about it so I thought “why not”. My DD would have been bored stiff if I had kept her back however but he was perfectly happy.
