So I know it's a while away still for this little spud, but I really don't like this idea of having one intake per year for school. This means she will be 5.5yrs to start school. DH and I were both June babies and only did half a year of reception, whereas our little one will have to do a full year...

I don't think reception is a vital year persay as I can quite easily teach her to read etc. is there any way we could just skip reception and start her at 6 in year 1?
