Hi Jill, your son is the same age as mine. He will be starting year 7 in January. This year group started school before they changed the enrolment qualifications. It used to be worked from January until December, now it is from 1st July until 30th June. I thought that my son would go down into year 5 but they kept him in year 6 when we arrived. Some of his class are going to high school for year 7 but as it was optional( for this year) I decided he would stay at primary for year 7.
