How far behind is just unacceptable?

DD is in Y2 of mainstream, statemented for 20 hours plus another 6-10 on school action plus.

At long last we have got a rather "concise" breakdown of her P levels...but how far behind her peers would you say is differentiation just not going to work?

I think I'm fighting the same battle as you. My son started juniors last month and his new teacher has put him in a group with other "special needs" children but my son is the only one with a statement. They are doing differentiated work with the support of 1 TA. The work seems to be at the right level, but my son has huge gaps in his knowledge which aren't being addressed. I think he should spend more time working on these gaps with his 1 to 1 but school are only giving him 30 mins per day to do this. I'm trying to get his statement altered because it is so vague that school can apply his support in whatever way they see fit. Can you try the same?
