Maths Setting at Hethersett VC Junior School


Why do we no longer set in maths?

In previous years our school set in each year group for maths.  It was decided in summer 2014 that we would no longer take this approach as we believed our children would make better progress in mixed ability classes.  We do however set for maths in Year 6, this is due to the Level 6 curriculum which is taught in this year group.  Our decision was based on research by leading educationalists, the link below links to a copy of a report highlighting the benefits of non-setting.
