DS has just finished Year 7 at our local comp, which is quite a high performing school. He has done very well, and we are really proud of how hard he has worked.
He has not met quite a few of his Y7 targets this year though. The majority were set at 6C, which I think is quite high? His Y6 SATS were 5B for english and 5A for maths, and I assume his targets were set from the english result - ie 2 sublevels higher.
He has achieved his targets for quite a few subjects like maths and science, DT and ICT, but not for english, geog and history, where he is still on level 5. I assume this is not indicative that he hasn't made sufficient progress but more reflection that the targets are very high? Is it 'normal' for want of a better word that a smart Y7 doesn't get 6's across the board? It is hard to tell what is 'normal' on here sometimes, I know
FWIW, he also got 6C targets for music, art and drama. No level 5's or 6's there, but I know these are not his strong subjects lol!
