In Scotland there's an interesting situation like you mention where children born in Jan and Feb are able to choose which school year they start, either when they're 4.5 or 5.5. Children born from March onwards will start school the following year while those born in December or earlier will start school the previous year.

My older boy is a Jan birthday and we're dalaying him starting school till he's 5.5 for reasons that include those mentioned in TFA.
