Ok DD isn't starting school any time soon, but when she does, she'll be turning 7 not 6 coz she's a December baby and this annoys me. When I was in school, I was way ahead of my class and for that reason, school bored the hell out of me and I pretended to be sick half the time so I could stay home and play importing and exporting with my teddies..
So if DD turns out like me, I want her in her appropriate class and am hoping (if she is keen) to skip a grade if she starts to seem bored and unchallenged.

Does anyone know how this happens?
Do I put in a request at the school, or the Board?
Who needs to approve it? Can they object?

This is probably silly, seeing as it could all change in the next few years, but I'm dying to know coz this new system really bugs me.
