DD has just started year 5 in a small, one form entry school. She has come from a very large school with multiple classes per year. I guess this meant they could stream the subjects and dd was put in the group doing the curriculum for the year ahead.
I had no idea about this until she came out of school today and told me they had started on a topic she learnt last year. She's sure it wasn't just a recap, and says she was definitely doing year 5 maths when she was in year 4 last year, (and had done year 4 in the previous year).
What would be reasonable to expect from the school about this? They must be used to some children needing to be stretched, but having covered the entire syllabus already? I don't want her to be bored repeating stuff, or isolated away from her friends while she does separate work. What would the right balance be?
