DD is in year 1 and we have just had a report for her. It consists of nothing other than a score in reading, writing and maths for her current level and the level they expect her to achieve by the end of the year (eg, 1a, 2c etc).
I find it confusing - DD has finished all the book bands and is a very good free reader. She has been scored 1a mid year, and also been given a target of 1a for the end of the year 
. In maths, she is also scored 1a but has been given a target of 2c.
I cannot understand why she is only 1a on reading, but I assume they are scoring on something other than just the book bands and I don't know what they are assessing on. But forgetting that, why is she not expected to improve in the next term and a half, and why do they think her reading should be a lower level than her maths at the end of the year?
Cynically, I am assuming that this is to do with the school being able to show an improvement, so not ranking her too highly now. Is ths right. Also, does it even matter? I am happy that she is doing well, will these scores ever have any impact on her in the future. I don't want to raise it with the school if it is irrelevant.
Thanks.
