Geoff:
Since we are specialising in being pedantic, a student is 11 at the 
beginning of the First Year and either becomes 12 during the year or 
during the summer holidays. Hence he or she is 12 at the beginning of 
the Second Year becoming 13 during the year or during the summer 
holidays and so on.....
