Ds is in reception and is - I don't know if gifted, but certainly very bright. I have posted a thread on here before.
His teacher has told us he is amazingly bright, he scored in the 99th percentile for some language understanding test they did for his age - no idea what that is, and he's doing year 3 numeracy work. Apparently he's the 'brightest in a bright class'.
Anyway, I posted another thread before about being concerned because next year, due to small school/numbers, about 6 of them in his year will probably be kept down with next years reception. They do this strictly on age and because my ds is one of the youngest he will be one of them. Dh and I are concerned and want to meet with the head about it, the thing is I'm not really sure what reasonably to expect from them.
We want to ask how they are going to ensure they differentiate appropriately for the year 1 kids in that classroom, and especially ds given the level of work he is doing. Is this ok do you think, and what answers would you expect to hear if the school is doing its job?
Thank you.
