At KS3, the students are taught in mixed ability groups. The exception is mathematics and they organise students into sets from January of Year 7. Teaching the students in mixed-ability groups allows us to challenge and stretch all students. Teachers always pitch to the top and provide scaffolds and supports to ensure that all students of all abilities can achieve the desired outcomes of lessons. We do not believe that a child’s true potential is known at the end of Year 6 and do not wish to do anything that might limit their growth.
