The way I understand it is that if your child is 5 Jan - June he will enter school on his 5th birthday in year 1 and move to year 2 in February. If he is 5 July - Dec he will start on his 5th birthday in year 0 and move to year 1 in February.

This system means that my elder boy would have finished year 11 in UK in July 08 and start year 12 in September but will actually start year 13 in NZ the following February and my younger son would have just started year 10 in the UK (September) but will be due to start year 11 in the February meaning they will have missed almost a year of their schooling.
