Sorry I seem to have a bee in my bonnet about Math's at the moment...
What would you expect top set Year 7 pupils to be achieving at the end of this year ?
My DD is in a VERY average school (64% achieving A-C GCSE)...intake is low in Year 7 because this was previously an Upper school where major intake is still Yr9.
Maths teacher (in my opinion) seems inconsistent..temperamental and tends to wave a stick rather than dangle a carrot .. even stating to the class that she may be leaving after this year....
She's indicated that some children in the class will be dropped down to the next set if they dont achieve Level 7 at the end of this year - which seems a very high expectation.... in the Year 7 intake is just 60 children split between 3 sets ...I cant believe that there will be 15-20 children working at Level 7 at the end of this year ...if it was a super selective school then maybe ...but not a VERY average state school ...
