Hi everyone, does anyone have siblings in the same grade at school?? My kids are 12 months apart and my eldest is going to repeat prep, thus putting them in the same grade going forward. My concern is the eldest self esteem and having to explain why they are in the same grade and not twins.

I would put them in different classes. It shouldn't define them, they're not in competition, however if you find it does affect the oldest I would consider separate schools to prevent the comparison.
Maybe a school with composite classes where it's not so obvious?
Back in high school I went to school with two siblings who were 11 months apart and in the same class and they never got bullied for it or anything but if it worries you maybe ask for them to be put in a different class?
