Does anyone have exerience of mixed ability/age classes at primary level. We are looking to move to a new village in order to get into the catchment area for a good secondary school but the primary is very small (40 children) and they are taught in two classes with only three full time teachers. I'm unsure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Will bright children tend to progress to the level of the older children in the group or will the whole group get held back because of the young ones? Any views.
