How Sam is doing
Slightly behind the schedule (English)
Maths
What is going well
Comfortably ahead of the schedule (Maths). 44 of 120 objectives for Years 3 to 5 are secure (37%). At the rate of the last 28 days (11 objectives a week), the rest would be covered in about 7 weeks, roughly 37 weeks before the exam. This is the point at which doing less is a reasonable choice. On current evidence, between 90 and 120 of the 120 will be secure by September 2027.
Where she is
Where the maths skills check placed her. The maths skills check asked 24 questions and she answered 16 correctly, saying she had not met 8 of them. She was comfortable up to Year 6, summer term. 55 topics it found she can do are not secure yet only because the reviews on later days are still to come. That is the ladder doing its job, not a gap.
Areas for development
Some earlier work needs another pass. 8 objectives from earlier years are not secure yet (6 from Year 3, 2 from Year 4). These are worth more than anything new, because everything else is built on them. The app puts them first automatically.
Measurement is the one lagging. 14% of the measurement objectives are secure, against 50% across the other areas. One topic being behind is normal and fixable; this is where the time is best spent.

Areas for development
8 of 64 objectives for Years 3 to 5 are secure (13%). The remaining 56 would take about 56 weeks at the current rate of 1 a week, against 44 weeks available before the exam. Closing that needs roughly 1.3 a week instead: one extra short session most weeks. On current evidence, between 14 and 64 of the 64 will be secure by September 2027.
Next steps
Not what you have to do, but what the web app already does. Explaining is its job; yours is routine and audience.
Keeps the daily set sized so the remaining objectives land before the exam, within a session of up to 12 minutes.
Starts from that level instead of from zero.
Puts the earlier topics at the front of the queue, offers the note before each one, and brings them back one question at a time until they are right on separate days.
Leads with that area: its note first, then short-cycle reviews until it holds, then the normal spacing.
How you can help
Read together most days, then talk about what happened. Ask “Which part of the text tells you that?” or “Can you find the sentence that supports your answer?”
Keep a wide range of reading at home: stories, poems, plays, non-fiction and reference books, and fairy stories, myths and legends.
