Hi,
New to this site, so bare with me - although I have been lurking a while!!
I have posted this here rather than on the primary page, not beacause I think I have a particularly gifted child, but I really want to know if these levels are just within the good average range or above average.
My little one goes to a local state school and is in year 1, a summer child age 5. The school is classed as outstanding and is in a competitive selective state grammer school area.
The school does not give much away in terms of levels and does not talk about gifted and talented to the parents, although a govenor friend said they do have a register, but don't tell the parents ( it causes too much angst )
At parents evening last week I was told that the class had been tested on independent writing, reading and spelling. My little one has a reading and spelling age of 8.5 - 9 and the teacher said writing is amazing for age (but gave no level) I can't compare this to the peers as they may think I am gloating.
I know a lots of the Mums here have very able children and I guess I am hoping someone will come along and help me guage how well my child is doing as I maybe getting over excited about nothing LOL.
