My ds is in year two and is in year 3 next term, but staying in class two. We had school report today which was very positive and good, we also had the results of his SATS he had 2's( which I believe is about average) the reason ( I think) he is being left in class 2 is because he lacks confidence in his own ability and up until this year was struggling socially, but has now three friends which he plays with all the time and are in his class at present, he has really bonded with these boys and this has increased his confidence 100%. My biggest worry( as i don't yet) is that these friends will move up to class 3 while ds will be left in class 2 and this i worry will put his level of confidence right back to the earlier days of school. Although he is popular he does find the school environment very intimidating and finds socialising hard.(but is a very different child at home or in more relax situations) I have spoken to his teacher several times and told her my concerns if this was to happen and basically all she said was "don't worry"!I going to see the head teacher tomorrow, would be really grateful for any advice/comments.
