- Your child can pass reception class and go to school one year later, since five years. But to wait up to 6-7 years as in Russia you have no right if you don't want to have problems with social services
- But you shouldn't be afraid to send the child to school so early - in fact, the institute of elementary school in England performs functions of kindergarten: during the day children play much, walk in the open air, draw, sing and participate in other creative processes. Marks in the first classes aren't given here, lessons on the house aren't set. Often it is possible to learn "progress" of the child only having talked to the school teacher

It isn't simpler to arrange the child in prestigious private school at all, and at times even more difficult, than in good state. Often in them get in a queue right after the birth of the kid to be in time by the time of approach of school age. Some future parents are in all seriousness dissatisfied that schools don't allow to get in a queue while mother is still pregnant: therefore in the first day of appearance of the kid on light the happy father instead of celebrating this joyful event, rushes to get run in a queue on the waiting list of desired school.
- If the budget of a family doesn't allow suit the child in good private school, then parents should make the choice among free public schools.
Creativity instead of cramming
- Primary education in Great Britain seriously differs from traditional Russian. Everything is aimed at development of creative and research abilities of the child. Children integrate in commands and together execute projects. As a result children not just learn paragraphs from textbooks, and understand an entity of the phenomena and laws. For example, they independently output Pythagoras's table. Besides, such approach to training simplifies adaptation: children permanently communicate with peers, so, find friends quicker and are permanently enhanced in language.
