Hi there.
I'm posting here because I've recently been trying to sort out my dc's sets at school.
Feel really unhappy as I was misled by a teacher telling me that all English sets were mixed ability as I was a little concerned how my dc had suddenly gone from doing really well all through Primary to dropping to a low set in year 8.
I double checked again this week and turns out they are not mixed ability. Why I was told this I do not know but had I known we would've questioned more and found out more where we could help.
Dc has worked very hard over the last year and got some good marks, some as high as friends in top set and still in same low set again this year.
Dc is now lacking confidence as friends have moved up set and dc hasn't. Not for want of trying.
Anyone know why this might be the case?
I've looked in to extra lessons as dc wants to do a job at that involves a good English pass rate and to be honest we feel very let down by the school.
Dc is very quiet and I sometimes wonder if maybe just doesn't get noticed much.
Thanks
