Hi Mystery,
I have a little summer born DD in year 1.
Their school did share foundation points at the end of the year and it is their policy to give curriculum levels too.The average for a child at the end of year 2 is a 2b.Children should go up at least 1 and usually 2 sublevels a year so you can work backwards from 2 b to work out where your child roughly should be.
I wouldn't have any qualms about asking "roughly what national curriculum level do you think my child will be at by the end of the year?"
In terms of reading.A search of the internet will match yout child's book band to a Nat curric level.(TES website forum has useful links)
Hope that helps.

I think that means you do have the right to know.http://www.cfoi.org.uk/persfilesintro.html wrote:Educational records
Parents, and pupils who are 16 or over, have had the right to see local education authority (LEA) school records for a number of years. The DPA has now extended this right to younger pupils. There is no minimum age: any pupil who makes a written request to see their school records is entitled to do so, unless the pupil does not have the ability to understand what they are asking for. The right applies to any information produced by a teacher, an education welfare officer or an employee of the LEA. Access must be given within 15 days.
In addition to the general exemptions in the DPA:
Information likely to cause serious harm to the pupil or someone else's physical or mental health is exempt.
Information about a possible risk of child abuse can be withheld from a parent if disclosure would not be in the child's best interests.
Educational records can be inspected free of charge. Photocopying charges are limited to a maximum of £1 for the first 20 pages, plus a further £1 for every subsequent 10 pages, up to a maximum of £50. This maximum applies regardless of how many pages are supplied.
(added) specifically the foundation stage profile

The assessment requirements are that:
All providers must make arrangements for each child within the final year of the EYFS to be assessed throughout the year by a practitioner. Practitioners must use the 13 scales and have regard to the scale points as set out in Appendix 1 of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage to complete the EYFS Profile as a record of achievement.
This must be completed in the final term of the year in which the child reaches the age of five and no later than 30 June in that term.
Providers must permit the relevant local authority to enter the premises at all reasonable times in order to observe the implementation of the arrangements for the completion of the EYFS Profile.
Providers must permit the relevant local authority to examine and take copies of documents and other articles relating to the EYFS Profile and assessments.
Providers must take part in all reasonable moderation activities specified by their local authority.
Providers must provide the relevant local authority with such information relating to the EYFS Profile and assessment as they may reasonably request.
Within the final term of the EYFS providers must provide the parent of a child in relation to whom the EYFS Profile has been completed with:
a written summary reporting the child's progress against the early learning goals and the assessment scales;
where the parent requests it, a copy of the EYFS Profile;
details of the arrangements under which the EYFS Profile and its results may be discussed between a practitioner and the parent, giving a reasonable opportunity for the parent to discuss the EYFS Profile and its results with that practitioner.
