Change the schools acedemic year start time to January

The proposal is to run school January to December (not September to August). So children will be a minimum of 4 years and 4 months went starting school

Decisions about school term dates are a matter for the governing bodies of individual schools, not the Government or Parliament. You could start a petition calling on the Government to change the age at which local authorities are required to provide a school place for a child, but this would not necessarily mean that schools changed their term dates.
