On wednesday night I was informed by my 8 year old daughter that her numeracy class is streamed and that she is in the bottom group. She was in tears as apparantly only 6 chidlren out of 16 are in this small group. I had attended every parents evening and have alwasy been told there are no problems, she is doing very well, infact as recently as last week we were informed that the only area she needed to work on ws long division.
I ws shocked to learn tht hte classes are streamed and tht my daughter is in the bottom group. The school has been very secretive about this for some reason.
The grouping of he top group only allows 10 children due to numbers in the ict suite.
I have a meeting with her previous class teacher and the head on Monday. We were never told that my daughter was struggling with maths...infact in recent tests they said she was at hte expected level in one paper and weel above the expected level in a nother...So you can imagine my confusion. I am really disappointed and angry that the school did not make us aware ..we could have offered her a little extra support at home if we'd known....has anyone got any advice or experienced anyhting similar?
All advice very welcome . Thanks.
