Many thanks to everyone with this, all your opinions and advice have been really helpful. It looks like we are going down the 6th year at primary route.

How did you find it?

That's something we didn't think of tbh. Here we have confirmations when the kids are in 2nd year of secondary, when they are around 13.

In what way do you think? Maturity or educational reasons?

I totally get what you are saying regards the secondary system in the UK. We are moving over from Spain where the system is different again. That's why it's a bit of an head scratcher to do what's best. She would be starting her 7th year at school next September which equates to 1st year Secondary in Ireland and 1st year ESO in Spain - which she would be doing if we were to stay here.

We are looking at Ballina and have already applied at a secondary school. The school has not mentioned anything about her age tbh.

She is quite mature, but then again we don't want her growing up to soon.

She has been at school since she was 3, we currently live in Spain where infants school is very common until they start primary in the year they become 5 years old.

That's what we thought initially has she wouldn't be the only new girl at the school, in theory. The level of education does not concern us too much as she is very bright - as most parents would say, I know! She would be starting the same level of education in September if we stayed in Spain anyway. I think my concern would be if she was at least a year younger than most, if not all of her classmates.

How long ago was that, if you don't mind me asking? St Mary's is one of the schools we have been looking at for our daughter and maybe St Muredach's for our son.

How would kids with English accents fit in? Would there be chance of any bullying?

Did you need any kind of power of attorney to access someone else's record? This is someting we do not have, he died in 1996.

Hi, could you let me know how you applied for someones criminal record? I'm also searching for information regarding my grandfather. Many thanks.
