Ehhh, they live in London. In the part they live in (or have previously lived in), most houses have small gardens. We aren’t in London but have a big (ish) house & small garden in comparison. It’s Britain, we barely use it. The few weeks a year we get decent use out of it, there’s room for a small trampoline, furniture & a stretch of grass where put a slide, paddling pool & swingball etc. We decided we’d rather have more indoor space, bigger rooms, family kitchen/diner/play and bigger bedrooms each! Each to their own on that, we just aren’t very garden people!
 
So they moved house because of ‘mortgage concerns, like so many people’ .. basically implying, we would struggle to afford our mortgage. Then bought a bigger house in the same area & are having a complete strip out renovation which will be costing a LOT of money. Mortgage concerns my ass. If you want to keep moving house all the time then go ahead. No need to make up a story about why to try seem like you aren’t a multi-millionaire.
 
Did I miss them saying they’d held Kit back a year? She posted in September 2021 about his first day, but I don’t recall anything else. Would genuinely be interested to know more about that situation as my friend fought hard with the local authority to keep her August-born son back a year and ended up going private to do so. Assuming the Judds would be private schooling their kids?

She def did post about it. Possibly just a story though. They were in state primary until this year. She posted about their last day at their current school. I think it was around Easter time. I think they went to their new school for the summer term. I’m almost certain they are now at a private school, she did show a bit of their uniform when they moved although no back to school posts this September.

It’s becoming a lot easier for parents to request their summer born start a year later. What is unusual here is Kit is repeating years. He’d already done reception & was in Yr1 but when they moved schools, he went back to reception. And is now currently repeating Yr1. That’s incredibly rare in state schools. And possibly one of the reasons they moved to private. It sounds like school is a real struggle for him, which is a tough one as a parent..
 
I delayed my august born and it was really easy in my area, they approve 100% of requests (which all LAs should do but it’s really area dependent and sadly some parents have a huge fight!). There is a summerborn Facebook group and I’ve definitely seen a number of parents whose children already started school but have decided they are struggling and not ready, so have requested they repeat the year / move to the cohort below them as if they had a delayed entry. Definitely possible if you know the legislation and fight your case.

That’s so interesting to hear *sorry, off the topic of Judds*, my friend who wanted to delay her summer born boy is an educator and knows the system well, but locally she faced barrier after barrier against it happening. Crazy how things can differ so much between authorities / academies / state / private sector! Really interesting that Kit is repeating a year, I haven’t heard of anyone doing that at all! Izzy’s video shows how active he is, hopefully the repeat of the curriculum can help him and not affect things like friendships / social skills 🤞🏼
