Probably a very stupid question but I'm in a total muddle about what age they start school these days.
DS is 2 and a September birthday (so he'll turn 5 during Sept 2012). My Mum is telling me that this means he won't start school till Sept 2013, a couple of weeks before he turns 6. Is this right?
When I picked him up from nursery yesterday they asked me what my plans are for his schooling, as they think he's "very bright" and an ideal candidate for the local private prep, where he'd start in Jan 2012 aged 4.
We specifically moved to this area so we could use the very good local state schools but I can appreciate that if there's going to be 18 months difference between start dates that we might have to reconsider.
