Yr 3 Report and Curriculum Levels

Just had DDS report. She has achieved the National Standard in all subjects. Little concerned as she left yr 2 with all level 3c and now she's average?
Cannot find any documents which indicate how these results line up against the old NC levels and am unsure if she's doing well or just coasting.
The school was Ofsteded last year and pulled up for not pushing the more capable pupils.
DD very rarely has homework, when she does its easy, and she says no adult has heard her read since Christmas.
We have parents evening on Friday where I hope it will be made clearer but should I be concerned?
I don't have a wonderkid in her defence, she's just keen to learn and there is quite a handful of pupils in this position.

Sorry, meant the new levelling system is implemented from sept.
Apparently she's not far off exceeding expectations in some subjects but because she hasn't ticked enough of the boxes for this she stays at achieving the level.
As long as she stays achieving and not working towards, I'm happy. Exceeding would be a lovely bonus but happy so long as she is enjoying learning.
As for helping her at home apparently she has the skills we just need to reinforce them.

Very worrying that even teachers think the system is too exam focused and is damaging to primary children.
Exam focus damaging pupils' mental health, says NUT

I come from a country where there are no SATs, no levels and no Ofsted and yet the standard of education is higher. When are those in charge going to realise that this system is not improving education and is causing undue stress to both pupils and teachers.
