well, this wasn't how it worked for me.

I was born on the 13th August 1980 and I started school September 
1984; when I was 4. So the system was effectively just a 1st of 
September cut off date.

This has been my experience all the way through school and I have 
only ever met one person in my year whose birthday fell after 1st 
September 1980, and his parents had to take the local autority to 
Court in order to get him in a year ahead.
