I think I am going to have to ask them to do more comphrehensive acheivement tests and then take it from there. It is very hard to tell where he should be but I think he is late y2/early y3 in maths. He is one level off the 24 month reading standard but since it is a minimum standard that is not uncommon there will could easily be a quarter of the class T or above that level. Some of them may have had a year more at school anyway.
I should have had him tested before the classes were allocated but I thought he was mildly/moderately gifted/bright
eta. A y2/y3 class would put him out of the junior syndicate into the middle syndicate which would be tricky at 5 but I do know a 6 yo gifted y2 in that class (she should have skipped but the principal is an anti-skipper)
Oh well. Better get the next one tested before he starts school - his birthday is a month after the cut off.
Thinking of your 3 to 7 terms of reception the government official cut off is about a term later than the dates the schools so in theory it is 2 to 6 terms rather than the 3 to 7 the schools use.
