Had a meeting at school this week where I was told that school would like to enter my DD for L6 paper in both Reading and Maths. Great! But on questionning, it appears that only minimal plans are in place to support my DD to study for this.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of our school at present, a huge amount of time both in class and through booster/1 to 1 sessions is being put into those children who need to achieve a level 4 (lots are below at present). Not even sure they are boosting children to L5 level, not to mention L6!
However my DD was assessed using old SATs papers at start of term and scored a convincing L5 on both (she has been assessed as a L5 since Y4). She was the only child that scored a L5 on either subject and not many scored L4.
So my question is - other than nag the school a great deal (which we intend to do) how can we best support our DD to be able to do her best on the L6 papers? Are there any particular materials we can use? When I questionned the school on this they helpfully sent my the L6 2011 exemplar papers but obviously we expect the school to use these to give our DD a mock at some point in the future.
