Year 2 pupil, very able in Literacy. Primary school is average according to Ofsted and results at KS1 & 2 are OK but value-added is not as it should be given the catchment.
Pupil's class teacher thinks pupil is outstanding and has plenty of evidence that the pupil should be on a certain level. Head has now told teacher not to award the level and has given her a 'ceiling' level not to go above, because if the pupil's attainment levels out in the next few years the school's value-added will be even worse. Teacher is upset and adamant the higher level should be awarded.
what are your opinions?
