Deferring start to junior school/repeating school year

Hello everyone,

My son is in year 2 and simply not ready to start junior school in September 2020. He is very emotional and wouldn't cope in a junior school in September.

He had about 5 transition visits planned...God knows when schools will open...

I was wondering are there any other parents whose kids are in year 2 or year 6 and wont be ready to transition to the next academic stage in September? What can be done in these unprecedented times to ask schools/councils for our kids to repeat the year. Who do I contact? Can anything be done? 

I have sent an email to the special educational needs dept at my local council and also emailed my MP but no replies so far..

Hope someone can advise me.

Many thanks

Jan
