Default mixed age classes?

I read somewhere that schools in oz put children into classes according to ability rather than age,so the theory is you could have a 7yr old in class of 9 yr olds is this correct? if so when brit kids arrive is there any testing etc to establish thier ability?

In the school my kids go to its not encouraged to go out of grade. However if a child is struggling they will hold them back in year 5.

I know of someones who has had a real battle to get her kid moved up a year because he was bored here. She's suceeded and hes doing ok though.

However this maynot be the same in all schools and in all states!
