A secondary school does not have great results in English compared to other subjects.
Whereas Science and Tech is taught in 9 classes for KS3 year groups (average class size 21), English is taught in just 7 classes, (average class size 27, top sets up to 32).
Also for double Science GCSE award they have 4 (hourly) lessons a week, whereas for the two English GCSEs they have just 3.
Is this standard practice in all secondary schools?
