Does WHSG ‘set’ their children?

Hi,

Does anyone know if WHSG set their children using CAT testing?

I dont know much about it so any information would be great.

Many thanks

DD only joined for sixth form, so has no experience of the main school, but looking at the Mathematics and Numeracy section on the 'Curriculum' tab, it says:

There are six forms in Years 7 to 11. In Year 7 the girls are taught in form groups until the start of Year 8, when they are set.  The students are split into two equal populations, from each of these a set 1 is formed with the remainder forming two set 2’s. All sets follow the same scheme of work and are taught in parallel.

This version of the website is fairly recent and neither the ' English' nor the 'Science' section has been populated yet.

They are back tomorrow, so you could ask the school then?

Great thank you! Sorry I should have looked at their website. I might give them a quick call tomorrow to clarify.

Thank you!
