Could any experienced parents/teachers advise? DS is in Year 2. We struggle with getting him into school anyway as is youngest in the year, and has never really liked school. Now I’m just having a look through his timetable this term and just it looks so deeply boring. It is basically English, spelling, maths, arithmetic, phonics all day every day. 2 sessions PE, one music one computing and one PSCHE per week. Is this typical at this stage? It’s my first go-around with the education system and it just seems so incredibly repetitive and uninspiring for a 6 year old. I don’t blame the teachers at all for this and his teacher seems good and dedicated but am I right in thinking (hoping?) that this is required for the SATS and that next year things will get a bit more interesting and varied? He already tells me that he feels that he’s not good at anything which is pretty sad, and I’m wondering when if ever he’s going to actually enjoy the process of learning. Thanks for reading - any experience gratefully received.

Does the curriculum get more interesting than this?
