Excellent - but no mention of Writing.

Not sure what else I need to show the progress from EXS to GDS?? HT said this report is based on DS academic performance.
There is usually a line in the record of the review meeting where the panel state whether or not they accept the headteacher's KS2 predictions for Reading, Maths and Writing. They do not always agree with the headteacher, and at the moment I think there's a serious risk they will say 'No' to the Writing prediction, bearing in mind that the previous 4 years have been EXS.
Would it be possible to email the school to say how pleased you are about their prediction of GDS for writing, but could they help you understand what the jump from EXS in Y5 is based on? Is there any information that you could use for your review? Is it greater maturity? Has there been rapid progress this term?
(If they reply by email you could include this with your other evidence if it helps your case.)
