Groupings

In Y7 there is grouping by ability in a range of subjects (English,, science, MFL, History , Geography). In the main this is by the identification of two “top sets” on each side of the year group. This is supported by a Literacy Improvement Group – a smaller teaching group, taught by a fewer number of teachers and aimed at supporting those students with low reading ages and other potential barriers to learning. All other subjects are taught in mixed ability groups. Maths is taught in ability groupings in Y7 and in Y8. In Y7 and Y8 a greater proportion of curriculum time is given to those subjects that make up the EBACC set of qualifications

This grouping arrangement is extended and refined in Y8 with more grouping by ability joining maths, including MFL and Science

In KS4 maths and science, MFL are taught in groups set by ability and where possible this is extended to other option subjects.
