Bexleyheath School - New Structure?

Thought i'd start a new thread about BS - as i am looking for information as to how the classes are made up !

My DS has just joined in Year 7 and the whole school has been completely restructured, which was discussed on the other BS thread, but now he has joined, am curious to know if anybody knows how the classes are set/grouped?

My DS was given his tutor group at his induction and there was some confusion after the inductions, as the tutor groups were put together in mixed ability and renamed to how its been done over the past few years.

Anyway, so i thought my DS would be in his tutor group until he was banded for specific lessons, but he has joined to find out that he only does PE with his tutor group, and for the rest of his classes he is a completely different class, with a different name - which of course is not a problem, but am just curious to how the system works. So if anyone knows please let me know.

I know i could phone the school and ask, but thought i'd wait til a parents evening which i would imagine will be arranged quite soon (normally are).

My DD also goes to BS but as she is now in Year 10, she has started her options courses so her year is set differently.

My DS seems to have settled in really well at BS, helps that his big sister is there, and a lot of children from his primary school go there to, so he feels very comfortable knowing so many children already.

I think most parents are in the dark at the moment.

Tracey - have worked out they have divided the classes naming them North, East, South, West - but unfortunately still dont know what this means!

Parents evening will be soon, so will be sure to find out exactly whats going on then.

Just to add all year 7 pupils had CATS tests yesterday - whether this means they will all be moved again or not, i dont know yet!

Anyone know?
