Ds getting level 4a in year 5

[Blossomhill]

Just worried as think only needs to get up to level 5 and that's it. School have admitted that obviously main priority are the children that struggle.
Why do the more able children get pushe dto one side. Level 4a was for literacy and rading. He got a 4c in reading and apparently they all dropped for maths which again is worrying.
Any teachers that can give advice please? x

DS's school gave the papers back to the kids for them to go over and see how they'd done -after the results had gone home, of course. That was all very well for the "top" group of competitive kids who were keen to see where they'd dropped marks, partic in Maths, but can't see it being a great idea with the strugglers.
