Thanks Polarbear, ConnecingDots. yes will double check during our next meeting. Sorry, I wasn't clear; The testing problem was mentioned to DH as a potential hurdle to subject acceleration and so I am getting a bit concerned that Principal is starting to sound nervous and unclear with no concrete plan. I really do not like coming across as a pushy parent but I think I am going to have to be detailed and clear on what we would like to see for next year rather than just nodding my head and being unhappy when we get home!
