The school Andrew is current at he is in a Y2 class (he is 6 in April). We are possibly moving from this area in 6 weeks, which will mean he will have to change schools (and I know it is a shame we can't do it at the beginning of the next term). Would his new school put him into a Y2 class or will he be Y1??? I really don't want him to go backwards IYKWIM?? I know he is already reading above the "norm" for a 6 year old and his maths is at the 6 year range already. It is only his writing that he is not at his age or above. Does anyone know what the new school may do if we do move??? ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Hi Mummybecks
No real idea what other schools do but I know that the school where i work, if the child comes from a Y2 class they are put into a year 2 class (unless the parents want otherwise). I would imagine that most schools will keep them at the same year level? Sorry not much help :-) ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Why would he be put in a year one class. If he started school in April last year, then he was in year one last year, and year two this year. Maybe I am missing something from being out of practice? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm not a teacher but I'd say he'd definitely be put in year 2. There are still 5 year olds in Alia's class but they are considered year 2. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">
