dd started reception in a tiny village school, the kind of school that decides they suddenly want to bake or have hot chocolate or go outside and they just do it cause the class sizes were 12 in a class and they could do.
Due to a marriage breakdown where we had to leave the area to get away, dd moved to another school in January and is now in yr1, big town school two form , 60 kids etc. DD is bright but if she can get away with doing nothing all year she will and she is not just not preogressing but going dramatically backwards, I play number/word games etc etc, visit the library etc and read with her every night.
I really dont know what to do, socially she is doing well but I just feel this school isnt for her academically but dont know what to do at all, do I change schools, I could afford to pay private from January but not yet but Im afraid they wont let her in private school as her ability has gone backwards so much, she could do more before she started school last year than she could do now Help!
