End of year 2. Would you expect to have been spoken to about this.

I am not being precious but this is another thing on quite a long list of non communication from the school including the fact that dd has an IEP that she's been on for two terms but I have only seen copies if today when I rang up to request them (again).

Thanks.

Perhaps she is already receiving numeracy support?

No she isn't. It's not on the IEP that only received today.

I would be making an appointment with the SENCo to ask for clarification.

I would be concerned. Does your dd have issues that you know of?

Working at 1a at then end of Year 2 means that she is approx 1 year behind her peers nationally (assuming that your dd has had the full 2 years in KS1 and some Reception schooling). 1a is roughly the expectation for the end of Year 1 as long as there have been no breaks in schooling.

So yes, you should have been informed that your dd was having difficulty in maths. There is a big however. Has she been assessed as 1a by the teacher and this is backed up by a maths test or task? Or did they simply give her a level 2 maths test, let her get on with it, she's had a bad day and not scored high enough for a level 2?

If the latter is the case, she may well be a level 2 but not on the test given IYSWIM.

The expected level for the end of KS1 is level 2 she's one step away from that

Yes she has ASD, but this supposedly does not affect her academically and has not up till now. I actually spoke to the SENCO today, about SLT provision that they'd decided she doesn't really need thought SLT says she does Hmm. It came up that she was on an IEP, I didn't even know this had not received a copy etc.

She's 2c+ and 2b+ for her other levels so I suppose THATS something to be grateful for.
