GCSE science setting

Just curious really. Does your secondary set triple science GCSE students for the individual sciences or are they assigned one science set for all three combined? Think school size might be relevant so if you know how many in the year that may help me please. TIA.

Thanks guys. Looks like setting for all three sciences combined is fairly common then. Not sure why??!

they are setted for science over all.

There are two triple science options, the higher group do the triple as two options & the lower do it as three 180 in each year. They want a level 6 at the end of y9 to do the triple, the higher set is all level 7s.

There are two top sets doing triple science, each set is the same for the three sciences. The year group is about 200 children.

Ours has 2 sets for triple science. Same set for all three subjects as far as I know. The cohort is 150. Some doing triple, some double. Don't know if any are doing single.
