Primary 1 deferrals and age of eldest P1 starter

The request was successful.

Dear Midlothian Council,

Please can you provide me from the the last five years the number of successful deferrals for children turning 5 in the months September - December for not starting school at the age of 4. If possible broken down by school.

Secondly could you provide, again from the past 5 years, the age of the oldest primary one starter. If possible can this exclude any ASN children.

Lastly can you provide the number or percentage of the answer to the first question (how many sept-Dec deferrals) of these children who were granted the additional year of nursery funding.

Yours faithfully,

Libby McAdam
