Somebody at school told me this recently & at parents evening we were told she would be level 3 by the time they take SATS & they knew her abilities but would not put her in the top spelling group (of 1 child) until reassessed at Christmas
That child, I know was labelled in the term she turned 7 & is no further ahead in reading etc.
Not bothered at all about the G&T label really, just the harder spellings- what she gets now are pathetic!
She won't be 7 until August which is why I worry.
They also told us that there was no point in giving her the more difficult work now as she will just get bored in year 3 instead

Is it true schools don't label G&T's until they are 7?
