If so then how can this be described as 'streamed'?
DD is in year 10 and at the end of year 9 she was told that her end of year exams were very important as the result woud determine which set she was put into for GCSE years. DD got a B1 in English and has been put in set 3 out of 4, with 1 being the highest. She said the class is mainly kids that need help with this subject, not too badly but not on track to do that well in at GCSE apart from perhaps 5 others like her.
When she queried it she was told this is common practice to encourage the others and although they're covering basic stuff DD can catch up at a later date!!
Haven't spoken to school yet but wanted advice.
On phone on train so excuse my crap English

Do any other schools mix up so called 'streamed sets' so the more able can help the less so?
