Hello all,
My son is 5 and in Reception. He has always been smart, but it's only now that I've started to realise how different he is and what it all means. His school are pretty good - they started him off with an appropriate reading book for his level and after I told them he was bored in maths they started sending him up to year 2 for maths a couple of times a week. Just before Easter his teacher came out of class to show me a SATS test he did (just for fun!) where he passed with a 2b. He enjoys this maths, but I don't think he's fully challenged, plus now he's definitely bored with most of the other work they do in school. He needs to be challenged to be happy, and happiness is all I want for him!
So I have a meeting on Thursday, and I need to come up with a plan. I'm going to ask for a copy of their g&t policy, plus I want to know if they have a g&t specialist in school (I doubt it) and if there are any other children like him in his year (it's 4 classes, a big school). I want to ask her to challenge him more in other areas, but I'm not sure what my expectations of the school should be. I'm also worrying about him socially of course.
Has anyone else been in the same position? Just not sure what I should expect from them.
Thanks for your time!
Sarah
