The Parent Consultation Day in December was a very informative day and provided you with the opportunity to review the progress that your son/daughter has made since September. As a result of the assessment data we have collected since September, we believe it is now appropriate to introduce some partial setting within the Year 7 curriculum. As such I would like to advise you of some likely changes to student’s classes later this term. Subjects where partial setting will take place include: - Mathematics - Science - Computing - French - Dramatic studies - Music Other subjects will remain as mixed-ability classes for the remainder of Year 7. Partial setting in the subjects listed above will begin after February half term. Any change is not based on a single assessment, they are being introduced to ensure that all students continue to have the most appropriate support for their individual academic and holistic growth. As a school, we are dedicated to providing the best education and support for our students. I would encourage all Year 7 students to continue working to the best of their ability and focus in the classroom and around the school. If you any questions regarding these changes, please do not hesitate to contact me at school.
