dd2 will be 5 in August and has been enjoying a funded place at nursery since last September. Her nursery teacher has just informed me that she has been asked to supply samples of her work so they can assess what level she is at. They have asked this of all the children about to leave the nursery.
She did tell me which body of people was requesting this but I cant recall now. My first question is should my daughter actually be included in this? Is this to asses if the nursery have done their job properly or are they trying to get a feel for how ready she is for school? In either way I feel thats he need not be included as by choosing to home-school I feel I have taken the burden off the nursery for educating her as I am doing it myself.
Although saying that she has been recieving a funded place so they may want to know what kind of service they have been paying for.
Also (and this has only recently crossed my mind) will information be passed onto the LEA about dd not attending school. We are not actively hiding from them, just enjoying home-educating our children without having to justify it to the LEA.
Thanx for your help.
