This is a genuine question - not an invitation to compare NC levels or anything.
DD1 got her end of school report. She is strong at reading (not gloating - I know her maths and writing need help, but reading is her strong point).
The section of her report on reading talks about how well she reads, decodes text, brilliant comprehension etc. There are no areas mentioned that she needs to work on (unlike where they've pointed out her weaknesses in maths and writing).
She's on gold book band and has been given a 1a for reading. I know the book band isn't everything, but I can't see anything in the write up that would have brought her score to that level?
Conversely - she's been told she needs to consistently use capital letters and full stops in her writing, needs to concentrate on writing on the lines, needs to make her writing smaller but has also been given a 1a for writing.
I just don't get the big disparity between what I see as the ability in reading and writing and the scores given?
p.s if at all relevant - DD's school is a larger than average primary that just got a requires improvement ofsted grade (was previously good with outstanding feartures)

Are some schools a bit 'tighter' with NC levels than others?
