My 6year old DD1 is currently in year 1 instead of year 2. She has an EHCP. It all started when we are advised that she stays back in reception class with a plan to move her to year 1 during the year, then covid happened. Initially we were told she will be moved to year 2 but the headteacher as now said she will have to stay back in year 1 because there is no space in year 2 for her. I was informed by the headteacher that she is doing very well academically and working at year 2, in her last report she was exceeding expectations in all areas. The only reason why she is been kept behind is that year 2 is more structured and she may not cope with seating still for along period. She says she is bored in class because she already knows all what she is currently being taught. The headteacher told me she is a free reader but she still brings home level 3 books which she finds boring. She reads Road Dahl at home . I am desperate to have my daughter in the right class for her age. What should I do.

When is her next annual review?

Can you phone the local authority sen department & see what they advise? Or sendiass and ask for advice. I’ve been in touch with sendiass recently and the lady who we have is really knowledgeable, worth a try.

We have the opposite situation, ds has an ehcp (he has autism) he’s just gone into yr2 but he’s working at or below nursery level so would of really benefitted being behind a year but his school don’t do it, I asked in reception.

Instead, he doesn’t access any of the curriculum at all and spends a lot of the day playing outside so he’s moving to special school at some point this year.

Hope you find a solution.
