Looking for advice really on how to address the school please.
DS is in Y7 and in was put in tiers C & D at school when he started last Sept. They only move pupils around once a year. So since starting in Sept in lessons he finishes the work quickly and then sits with nothing else to do even when he's told the teacher hence he's bored whilst waiting. Homework isnt taxing when he gets it and he either does it straight away (10mins at the most) or leaves it till the day before as he knows it's easy and wont take long. He says most of the time he is bored as the work is really easy. We told him to stick at it as it was early days. Assessments show good marks/results for him. Im not saying he's a brain box but I know he can do much much more than he's currently working to.
So now we can tell it's taking his toll on him - he's bored and unenthusiastic about school, nothing seems challenging enough for him. They have just finished assessments and some will move up and down accordingly (only do this once a year). The results we've had back so far are excellent.
He's been told this week by his tutor and another teacher which he also asked that although he is getting top marks there isnt any room in the tiers A, B, and C unless someone gets moved which is unlikely so he will be left where he is most probably.
Secondary School is all very new to me, and I do understand the challenges schools, teachers have. I have though about emailing Head of Year to ask them if this is the case what can be done to give him work to extend lessons or to motivate him more.
