Summer-born babies
As part of an ongoing reform of primary education in England, if your child is summer born (ie has a June, July or August birthday) you now have the choice of them skipping reception and going straight into Year 1 from nursery. There is a huge amount of debate about the pros and cons of this on Mumsnet Talk.
You have to start your child in full education the sept after their fifth birthday. Your statement sounds as though this "choice" (I see you've just copied the government's misleading language - choices ought to be between two things - think about it) is something new. But it isn't.
