Professor Dieter Wolke, at the University of Warwick, is conducting a new survey in which he asks for parents’ “opinions on delaying your child’s school entry for a year.”

For those of us with summer born children who want our children to start school at compulsory school age, this might be a good opportunity to engage with researchers, and to explain our reasons for making this choice.

There is also a question on your experience of enquiring about or applying for a CSAge start, which will no doubt evidence the postcode lottery currently at play in England.

And remember, Professor Wolke published research in 2015 that showed (despite media headlines) it is detrimental to a child’s education to miss their first year of school.
