Hi,
DS1 is in Y2, will be 7 in the summer. We have had 3 really disrupted years, with Reception and Y1 teachers both going 'off sick long term', replaced by supply teachers galore. Y2 has a job share with 2 teachers but other teachers in the school have gone on maternity leave during the year, so the job share has changed, and changed again. TA's teaching instead of teachers the whole time due to staff 'off sick', training, whatever.
Was told that the kids going into Y3 this year were re-assesed by the Y3 teacher and were judged to be at much lower than the Y2 teacher(s) had put them at.
I reckon DS1 is now worse at Maths than he was when he was in Y1, yet told by teacher at parents evening last week that he is at level 2a which is apparently quite good for mid Y2.
Can someone please let me know what these levels actually mean and what he is meant to be able to do in Maths to be at level 2a? Can I get him independantly assessed?
I am not a complainer or a pushy mum, but I am having doubts and want to do what is best. He only gets one chance at education after all.
So confused and have no confidence in the school at the moment.
