We are considering moving, and DS1 will start school in Sept 2014, so primary schools are influencing where we will look.
Some of the schools I would consider are small and have mixed year groups (ie R+Y1, Y2+Y3 etc). DS1 and DS2 are one school year apart so in this situation would be in same class every other year.
Any experience as to whether this is a bad enough thing to discount an otherwise good school without looking into it further?
On the one hand I have this romantic notion that this would be wonderful for the DSs who are already close. But I am more academic than my older sister and this would have been her worst nightmare (though I don't think it would have been an issue until ages 9 &11 ish).
I know it is a similar situation for twins, but there are reasons why many parents put twins in different classes.
