National Curriculum levels, Does your school report them to you?

[cascade]

Well following on from my dd disappointing school report (cut and paste) I went to see the teacher (not to complain) but to ask what levels dd was currently working at.

Dd teacher then said they do not give this info to parents as 1. Parents would not understand it and 2. If she gave me this info all parents would be coming in to ask. She said school policy is that levels are given to parents in year 2 and year 6. dd teacher then said if I wanted to speak to head teacher about this to make an appointment.

To be honest i dont want to do that, as it makes it a big issue. All I want to know is how much progress my dd is making each year.

So should I go see the headteacher? and could I ask whether it is normal for primary schools to give out national curriciulum levels each year.

my dd reprt today said yr 1 1b/1a yr2 2b yr3 2a/3c yr4 3b yr5 4c yr6 4b/4a

We got dds yr1 levels
But without previous levels to guage improvement it's almost meaningless.
1b 1b 1a

We just get 'average' or ' above average'

My Y3 DD didn't get them on her report , but I knew she had sat the optional sats so I went in to ask.I think its bang out of order to expect a child to sit a testband then not tell them how they scored !
DS in Y6 report only gave level as a number not the fine grading.But he asked the teachers for his raw scores so we could work it out.
incidentally they sent his wriing paper back to be remarked and has come back with 10 MARKS HIGHER !
