Are pupils setted, streamed or taught in mixed ability classes?
Mixed ability. All pupils have passed an Entrance Exam to gain a place at Kimbolton School and therefore a degree of selection has already occurred. We set in Maths and Modern Foreign Languages only (MFL Senior School only). From Reception to Year 9 (ages 4-13) pupils are taught in their form group for most lessons, although in creative subjects post 11+ (e.g. DT, Art, Textiles, Home Economics), pupils are divided into smaller groups. At GCSE and A level, pupils are placed in groups depending upon their option choices.
