The new class listings have just been posted at our school for Key Stage 1 which has restricted class sizes of 30. DS2 is in a year group of 36 children, so consequently they have been split. 30 are in a year 2 class and the remaining 6, including DS are in a class with 20 year 1 children. My main concern is that he is due to do his SATS next summer and I feel that he will be at a disadvantage because he won't be with all the other children who are due to sit them. I suspect that he has been left with the younger group because his reading and writing skills are below standard, though he is very intelligent and does really well at Maths (once he stops daydreaming).
Can anyone reassure me that these mixed groups do work or should I go to school and make my concerns known?
