DS, Year 5, Level 2 writing. What should we/ school be doing?

[bunny3]

Got school reports today. Ds is level 2 writing, level 3 reading. Just realised level 2 is where they should be in Y2 so that puts him 3 years behind . He has no extra help tho we are having one hour a week private tutoring due to start tomorrow. I am pissed off school has let allowed him to sit at this level. We have had numerous meetings and he has an IEP but it seems he has made no progressfor years. What can I expect? Am planning on seeing Head first thing tomorrow.

We saw the Head first thing this morning. Next term ds will be withdrawn to work in a small group (4 children I think) specifically on basic skills at home. This has already been put in place for next year so I am pleased with that. We have also agreed that instead of the project-based homeworks the school frequently sets, we will continue to help ds with his basic skills. He has had such a dreadful sense of failure because he is unable to produce a decent project without being able to write, I usually ended up doing most of the project so that he had something to hand in! Unfortunately I think that strategy hid from them how badly ds was struggling. Ds will most likely be entitled to a scribe for Y6 SATS, depends if he meets the (nationally set)criteria. On monday I am meeting with the SENCO for more specific info about nxt term, I will ask to see a weekly plan of exactly what ds is doing in his SEN grou and I am going to ask for more frequent updates on his progress. I will not let it slip.

Overall I am pleased with how the meeting went. The Head appears totally supportive and is in agreement that we follow our own homework plan. Now I need to make sure they stick to their promises.

Thanks for all the advice, I will see you on the SN boards.
