DD 7 (currently yr2) moved school back in the end of March. I had a meeting with her new teacher who said she is currently working at level 2c in maths and literacy and 2a for reading.
In her previous school we had parents evening before we moved.The teacher said she was currently working at 2b for literacy and reading and a 2c for maths and she was expected to be working at level 2a for reading and literacy and 2b for maths by the end of the year.

My main concern is that she is now considered below average and previously she was getting on fine.

Should I be concerned? I'm thinking this should all just settle over time as we moved area and she no longer really sees her old school friends.

Please share your experiences.....any advice welcome!

THanks for reading x

We were sent on APP training years ago but the head decided against using it in the end. I hadn't heard it mentioned for years-I was surprised people were using it.

What you can't know from the work is how much support was given to produce it. There can be a huge difference between totally independent work and work produced as the result of teacher input or support.

We had ds report back yesterday.

His report states Reading 2a, Writing 2a, Maths 3. Extremely proud of him, although I half expected the results to be the other way round. Still he was sitting at 2a in February at his old school for all three, so possibly not a secure 3 hence 2a result. All in all though he's doing well and is making friends which is equally important. I'm baffled though, he's also got four other level 3's for Science? Anyone else have Science on their dc report?
