How can I help my child?
Set them up for school as your would on a normal day!
Reassure them that they just need to do their best as they would in any lesson.

13. How is it reported?
We are required to report to parents if they are working towards the expected standard, if children are working at the expected standard or if they are working in greater depth. This judgement will be formed by the teacher using the work in their books and the test score.

14. Every child is different, for some, they may not reach age related expectations at this point, but this does not mean they won’t in the future. Everyone learns at different rates and we are here to support them to be the best they can be at this point in their learning development.
