Bit of an academic question really as I'm not really in a position to change anything for a year or so.
DS very bright and is just finishing year 2. According to the school's data the %s of level 3s very low- works out at 2 or 3 per class.
Should I be concerned - does this mean that the expectation for the Y3 classes as a whole next year will be quite low? I realise he will get appropriately differentiated work but I'm concerned he will spend lots of time listening to whole class input that he knows already.
Would he learn more in a school with a higher achieving cohort? I'm thinking faster pace, less need for constant revisiting etc.
Or am I just over worrying- he's only 7 and I can do stuff at home with him.
