DS is in Y1 1 and within a month of starting reception school had observed his exceptional maths ability. (He is generally a bright child, and is 'gifted' in maths - in reception he could easily understand some Year 3 work without being 'taught' it.)
In YR they made some effort to challenge him, and he did go up to year 1 for some maths lessons - but it was unstructured and hit & miss.
I spoke to the head at the end of YR and she said in Yr 1 he would go on to the the G&T register and would have an IEP. This gave me confidence that he would be appropriately challenged in a structured way.
This didn't happen, the head left and a new one has just been appointed. I have spoken to his teacher and she says that the school has decided that they aren't going to do a G&T register as its being phased out and that IEP are only for those who are struggling.
Is this correct? I thought the school HAD to have a register? I have asked for an IEP and been told no by the SEN teacher - should I challenge this (by going to the new head) or wouldn't that really help. Not sure what to do
