Easy question about school years
My son turns 7 in July this year, I can’t work out if he will be year 2 or 3 as I’m not sure at what point in the year enrolment starts from. Thank you.

(I've just edited the Wiki article linked up-thread to clear up a couple of inconsistencies in terminology and to add in that rule-of-thumb for convenience...)

Re: Easy question about school years
Schools are much of a muchness here - there's not the 'good school' 'bad school' 'oh have to get into the right school catchment area" like the UK.
