SATS level 3, Year 6 and SEN department

The headmistress is SENCO.
Ds2 received a 4 in Maths and Reading, but a 3 in the new spelling and punctuation paper.
Should I get some feedback or just give up now? He was rated 3b in Feb in writing in Feb, pretty bad.

Is it normal to let a child achieve a 3 without even alerting parents to the fact that this is not a good outcome? I don't feel he had any remedial help. His twin sister got 5's across board, with same set of teachers. He is clever but he has ASD and dyslexic difficulties.

I am not sure whether to bother to do and see HT (who has gift of gab and only a temporary SENCO) I don't know whether I can face listening to her. Are the teachers waiting for my feedback????

He has a CAF setup, and met new secondary SENCO etc. Should I bother?

I feel a bit depressed by it all really - just listening to people go round in circles when nothing much happens to change anything..

He had an 11th hour tutor to deal with phonic problems, organised by me. She was v helpful, but said he had not understood synthetic phonics - hence problems in last three years accelerating.

He had remedial help with the ASD issues of course, just not with his academic problems. I feel the SEN dept let him down by focussing on one to exclusion of the other.

Is it normal for a SEN dept to not encourage a child with ASD/dyslexia to achieve academically?
