I'm glad it is easier now I remember doing it as a child and it was all a little weird.. I think it was something to do with starting age. DD has done 6 terms of reception due to her birthday being in the middle of the yr. do they all start school when they turn 5? (Give or take a couple of months?)

I shouldn't have issues with the school records as MIL works at current school so she can put her big bossy pants on and get the job done
