Thank you Dazey and Dottie. My main concern is that once children here turn 11 (or 10 for my son if he takes the 1 grade skip) skipping grades is unheard of. If he is going to skip, it needs to be earlier on. They have already said that if he skips a year they will also give him additional input. I am just worried that when he goes off to senior school he is going to be stuck in a group where he will be bored and then we will have all sorts of problems, that is why I was wondering whether to push/ask for it now. But yes, perhaps it will be better to skip one year and then at the end of that year to skip again if necessary. He is very driven and loves academics and gets very unhappy when he is bored at school (they are currently giving him a lot of one to one to keep him busy).
I really appreciate all your thoughts, I wish that I could think as clearly as you!
