School report - one sub level of progress in two years

Hi Everyone

Just received my daughters year 3 report and have found she has only made one sub level of progress from a 2c at the end of year 2 to a 2b at the end of year 3 right across the board in maths, writing and reading. To say I am concerned is putting it lightly!! I know at the end of year 3 she should be a 2a minimum and has been under performing for the last two years.

I support her at home with these areas but am aware that the way in which she processes information is not what it should be. I recognize some aspects of dyslexia she presents (being a dyslexic myself) but the school seem to be reluctant to investigate if this is so. I feel really angry as she is trying so hard and her report mentions how motivated she is within class yet there seems to be little in the way of helping her to overcome the barrier she presently has.

Even more upsetting is the fact that I know the school receives pupil premium money for both my girls yet neither receives any free extra curricular activities or interventions which I know happens in other primary schools in the area. Isn't this money supposed to be used to aid pupil premium children's education?

A friend who is a TA in a primary school said my daughter should be on a TAC meeting agenda.

I'm going to request a meeting with the teacher and SENCO. Are there any vital questions I should be asking?

It is not uncommon for progress to slow as a child moves into a new key stage (Y3 and again in Y7). So while 2 sublevels improvement is generally accepted, 1 sublevel in Y3 is quite usual.

However, she is marginally lower than average so a chat with the teacher on how you can best support her learning will not go amiss.
