I am going tomorrow to look at a primary school for my DD and DS to start in Sep, he will go into Yr R (place allocated) and she Yr 2 (place available) I would be moving them from prep school. Is it reasonable to ask to see some work from the year ones so that I can see what sort of standard it is? I have heard various things on the grape vine from the primary school doesn't push the bright ones to them being way ahead of the children at our current school. My DD is at top of her group and we declined the primary school at Yr R as head suggested due to the fact she could read and had achieved Yr R targets in preschool class she should miss a year and go straight to year One. I am not overly impressed with her school this year ( great for DS though) so am going back for another look.
Sorry it is long, also what else should I be asking - has all happened rather quickly, i only rang the m today to enquire if they had space in Yr 2!
Thanks.
