Following a Parent consultation where we were told my dc was making good progress - and it was clear from my dc's classwork that this was the case, we were given the NC levels. When I checked my records I discovered that not much has changed since July 09 in term of levels. I was slightly confused and concerned by the apparent contradiction and I have made a follow up appt with dc's teacher for after Easter.
However, one other parent was a little quicker on the uptake that I and challenged the levels at the consultation. She was told that the levels were taken from an assessment completed at the beginning of January!!!
Is it possible the teacher is assessing my child correctly on a daily/weekly basis but only does the NC level paperwork once a term - is this the way teachers work? Am I being unreasonable to expect up to date NC levels at a meeting about my child's progress and if the levels are out of date for whatever reason, should they not have been given with a warning that they were 12 weeks out of date!!!
