School report q?

[mrsdunny207]

DD just brought home a v good school report (vpm!) and she has been scored for her levels of reading / writing / maths but there is nothing to explain what the score is (a number and letter for each) so it's hard to know if it is where she should be. Any teachers / more experienced mums who can shed some light? She is just finishing yr 1 ( no idea how that happened either!)

I "think" she would be expecting to finish year one on a 1B 1a being above average and 1c slightly below. Obviously if its a 2? then she is doing very well

That link was very useful Adele, thank you. Just spent the last hour decoding DS's school report - am now a vvpm!

Oh do tell how well they have all done :-)

What's actually funny is what his teacher has written attached to his report grades "imagine what he could do if he actually paid attention in class and put some effort into his work" - he got a 4a grade and he is in year 4....but he is a lazy so and so who spends all day daydreaming!

Our reports said that they expected yr 1s to end the year with a 1b or 1a. Then yr 2 should increase to 2c,b,a.

No numbers on Matthew's (am guessing they start in Y1 as they were mentioned in the covering letter) but am really pleased with his first school report

What cracked me up though was they had a sheet where they had asked the children questions and one was "are you worried about anything?" M's response - "Yes, about if dinosaurs stop being extinct and come back"

I think the levels are more for Ofsted/looking for gaps where they need support. As long as they're happy at this age, progressing at their own sweet pace I wouldn't worry.
Dinosaurs coming back bless him

She did really well, 2c in all three areas which is pretty good for an August baby in yr 1

That is really good, you must be really proud! :)

[mrsdunny207]

v v proud, and she swam a length on her own without stopping on Weds too (in a small pool but still pretty good)

[Adelelee]

Aww that is brilliant
