The school my DD1 has got a place at have a January intake for summer birthday children, which applies to her. Have I got any right to ask for her to start in September? She seems really ready/eager for it, and her preschool friends are all starting in September. I'm just worried that all the friendship groups will be set up by the time she starts in January, and the new govt regulations which come into force in 2011 (when schools have to offer a Sep start)implies that late starters do have a bit of an academic disadvantage.
I'm not going to lose sleep over it, but does the school have to consider a reasonable request to take her early (or conversely, are they not allowed to be flexible about it?)
