Dd not meeting age related expectations

Hi all,

I have my dd3 in year 4 from this September and she's in the very bottom set for maths and possibly English too. She was working below expected in both English and maths by the end of summer and I don't feel the school is doing much in the way of support. They did have some small group intervention but I don't think its made much of a difference. She's a late July born so could be a factor.
I really want to focus on her this year now that dd1 GCSE's year is out of the way .

What can I do at home? I struggle so much with making time for workbooks etc. just feels like an uphill struggle but I'm so worried about her falling further and further behind and then getting to secondary like this.
