Is this true about year 7?

I was talking with another mum, her dc is in year 7 and she claims her dc has not learned anything new in year 7 and is pretty much doing the same kind of work as in primary school, is this true? Surely this can't be right?

Not true in our case.

Was she specifically talking about maths? I find it hard to believe that not learning anything new would be possible in any other subject. With maths I could see how it could happen, though of course it shouldn't if set/differentiated appropriately.

Most schools will have the children in sets, if they weren't achieving expected or above at Primary they will go over the same things again to build a solid foundation for year 8.

Not true for DC in state schools.
