I am just looking at schools for 2010 intake for DD. Our local school which is fine (very mixed catchment so has some challenges, but quite frankly, that's life) has a 45 year intake so has to mix the classes.
I am a bit concerned about this as it sounds like they haven't quite agreed as to how to mix the classes - they used to do it by ability but were wary of creating a kind of "hierarchy" (I am brighter than you - they also have a lot of SEN children who come from all over the district so that probably has an impact) so now I am not really clear how they do mix them up.
Does anyone have any experiences of mixed classes? How important is it?
Thanks
