My DS is in year 3, and not enjoying it particularly - he is young in the year and would rather be playing football. At Parents Eve this week, his teacher told me that his writing had just been assessed at 4 sublevels below his year 2 SATs results. Now I know levels are not the be all and end all, but what does this suggest to you? I was pretty taken aback, but she kind of dropped it on me at the end of our 5 min chat, so had no chance to discuss it. Apparently his reading and maths are 'pretty much' where he was at the end of year 2, so it is just writing which has gone back so much.
My other DS had the same teacher a couple of years ago, and although they didn't do (give) levels then, I don't recall being made aware that his levels had dropped back so far on moving from Infants to Juniors.
Should I worry, or see how it pans out given it is a new school and all? Or should I be jumping up and down and asking what the hell is going wrong? WWYD?
