My ds is currently on 4a in English and 5a in maths and is in year 9. Does that look right as I'm sure that level 4 is the scores you get when you finish your sats in tear 6 which he got level 4 but just passed with tuition.
He is predicted 5c for English and 6c for maths for his gcse. The English teacher has said he is not working to gcse level yet and us not ready for it but no explanation on how they are going to prepare him as year 10 us only round the corner.
But if background info, ds did not learn to read or write til year 2. It was only picked up when he started a new school and they noticed this. Since then he has struggled and support classes had been put in place until tear 6 when he left. Was due to get a statement but never happened now to late.
I'm wandering whether tutoring him would help. But at the same time it could make things worse come a levels as unable to keep up. We tutored him through his sacks then since stopping tuition he has struggled ever since.
Sorry for the long post
