Background. We were concerned when receiving latest parents evening report that it appeared our 6yo DS in Year 2 had made no progress over the last 10 month period !
Received further information from school, as detailed below.
------
Spelling
Last year and this on Blue.
Updated information is DS has learnt 50% of two next levels yellow and green.
Conclusion. School have mistakenly been testing DS on wrong Blue spellings for the last two terms and mistakenly written blue not yellow/green on his report.
-----
Maths
No info, have to trust that the "fine" level is accurate and look at next report.
---'
Phonics
Last year year and this in Phase Three.
Updated information. School gave list if test scores with no comments. In our opinion it appears slow progress was made during Year One. Progress lost after summer holidays. Current progress is the same, as Summer last year. I.e. No progress made in the last two terms (we have five terms a year for grades etc)
DS is still only getting 9/19, can't move on until he gets 15 or more. If he returns to last year's progress levels it will take a further 3 terms to move to phase 3 !
Our school "practically teach phase 4 alongside phase 3 and that phase is completed so fast" Not sure if this is relevant but might be.

My question is...given the new information are we right to still be worrying ?
We are concerned that seeming no progress in Phonics has been made in the two terms in Year Two. What can be done ?
Also not happy that they have not been testing on the right spelling level either...but guess they have corrected it now...nothing more can be done in this area.
