Professional advice for a parent

Sorry if it’s not the right sub…

Having one of those “where to go moments” as a parent…my youngest (7, who it is believed has dyslexia and dyspraxia) is coming to end of year 2 and school, who she joined mid term have said that she is a fair way behind and would benefit from repeating the year.

I’m torn between what’s right for her as a person (socially and she can already feel she is behind) and her to be educated (don’t want her to confidence to fall even more by feeling even further behind)

Can anyone share a view on the upsides and downsides of repeating a year?

For clarity, we are in private system not state

Thank you so much
