Keeping expectations high in lower sets

Lovely dd1, well behaved, worrier, funny and switched on has had a rubbish start to secondary (even more than most but it's a bit outing to go into).

She's been placed in sets 3 & 4 for English and maths/science which sounds about right based on her current academic ability.

She has some specific learning needs, which mean she does not achieve her potential without a lot of extra time. She has a Myplan for this, senco seems pretty good. CATS and teacher based assessments have placed her in these sets.

Just wondering if parents and teachers out there have any tips for me in order to keep her from becoming lost in a loud class, and to keep everyone's including her own expectations up. We know that she is bright (from WISC tests from camhs -75th percentile).

She wants to be a lawyer, go to uni etc.

I should clarify, she is on mute when talking over the teacher, singing etc! She doesn't appear to be listening at all....
