My kid is in P4 in a local dss. We plan to apply for esf for him. But he was born in December, he went to local school one year later as a big boy. As esf admission is based on birth year, he will be forced to jump to G7 in the year 2022-2023 if he is so fortunate to be admitted.

Grade 4 to grade 7... Challenge very great.
Could any parents with experience shed on light on it?

Thanks

I don't have experience but if ESF is willing to accept him then it's fine. I think the most important factor is that his English is good enough to learn from an all-English teaching in an ESF secondary.

Since he is in P4 now, that's equivalent to G5 in Esf, and should be in G6 next year. So even if it's jumping one grade to G7, it's not actually a very big jump. G7 is the first year of secondary in ESF, I am sure the school would give him and all other student enough support for the transition.

Thank you for your reply. His English and Math should be fine. What we are most worried is his mental maturity and too small compared with peers.

Since your child is the oldest in LS now and he will become one of the younger ones in ESF. But since all the kids in Y7 are born in 2011, so they are the same age. No need to worry.

You may give a call to the admission office and discuss with them. The year of birth is not the only criteria of admission.

You don't have to worry about that. He won't be the only one so young. There are December children in every year and they all do fine.

England uses 31/8 as cut-off
Some may prefer to follow it

Thanks

Our son is also a December baby and skipped a year to join ESF Year 6. He is doing fine. If you have further question, feel free to PM.
