What should a child learn in year one?

[Nannyplum2015]

A child from an outstanding primary school who is quite bright and has been given the grade 'at least within' for everything on their reports.

What should the reading level be, standard of writing? What should they be doing and understanding in mathematics? And the other subjects too?

Thanks.

I can't link as on my phone app but if you search on the gov.uk pages you will find the national curriculum which lists the sort of thing they learn in KS1 and KS2. Separate files for numeracy and English.

Are you happy with your child's progress? What are your concerns?

Thank you. Imo she hasn't learnt much at all this year.

At the end of reception she was starting to join common diagraphs, learning what halves and quarters are, telling the time o'clock, half and quarter past, reading comprehension exercises. Number bonds to twenty and simple addition and subtraction.

This year she is just starting reading conprehension. Same sums, no telling the time, no joined up handwriting. She is learning to use adjectives.

Basically I think she is bored and won't meet the targets for next year at this rate.

The teacher only has 1 year experience in a satisfactory school, and I'm worried she's just coasting the year.

Is there a department Head, or coordinators for English, Maths, Science, ICT etc that you could arrange to meet?

It is very difficult when you feel a child could, and should, be doing better. The staff all close-ranks and parents have a hard time to get their opinions across.

Do they have Teaching Assistants? Do they ever use parent-helpers in classes? If they do, would you have time to be able to help in a class, to see what 'really goes on'? Even if you helped in a different class, you would get a 'feel' for attitudes, ethos, aims etc.

If you can track down the appropriate curriculum, you could possibly 'fill in the gaps' yourself; which I agree isn't ideal, but might make DD a bit happier.

Are there any clubs or extra-curricular activities available?

The school website should have curriculum information.
