[senco-forum] Advice on direction to take with son

My son started at a new primary school last week. It's
quickly become apparent that he is struggling and is
way behind everyone else. 
Our experience with his last school was nightmarish
(see previous postings!) and he has been let down very
badly, having spent every afternoon of year 1 in a
reception class (part of a "strategy" that was never
actually discussed with me, the assistant head going
so far as to lie about it).

What would forum members recommend at this point? My
son is about to be assessed and I wonder whether going
back a year at this stage would be a good idea? Or
would staying in Yr 2 with support be a better option?
Obviously, I will discuss the matter with the school's
SENCO and his class teacher and they may have their
own suggestions, but what - generally - are the
realistic and most effective options?
