Year 1 DD has been assessed 2b in reading, writing and maths. I have been looking into what this means over and above knowing it's good (as her teacher put it).
I am surprised by what I've read and wonder if I'm really understanding progress through the levels - can anyone who gets this stuff help?
First thing, the way I've read it, is that a child getting a 2b KS1 and 4b KS2 is then predicted to get a C in GCSE. Is that right? How has someone reached this conclusion and what evidence is it based on? Is it true that only children getting level 5 and 6 at the end of KS2 are 'predicted' to get As and A*s? I'm not sure why this shocks me but it does.
If teacher's correct and DD is 2b now how 'should' DD progress? I think at KS1 it's a level a year (not sure though) & KS2 two sublevels? Is that 3b at end of year 1 and 4c at the end of year 2 then? And levels 5/6 for year
6 perhaps?
I know it may not work like that in practice but is that what a teacher would be aiming for? I don't want to bother DD's teacher with having to explain this to me & too embarressed in RL but I know some MNs really get the way levels work.
