I have recently learned that my child who is in reception (4 & 5 year olds) at Bishop Road Primary School is being streamed. Does anyone know if other primary schools locally are doing this? Also is streaming classes for beneficial for kids in certain streams, i.e. more beneficial for the kids who are ahead with their learning, when kids become aware that they are being streamed and if the kids in the lower streams feel any stigma?

We all have a natural tendency to compare our children with others and secretly hope that ours are outperforming their peers. Finding out which ‘set’ or ‘stream’ they’re in at school can either reassure us that they’re doing well, or leave us worrying that they’re falling behind the rest of the class. But how common are setting and streaming in primary school environments, and does your child’s set or stream influence how well they’re likely to do?
The terms ‘set’ and ‘stream’ are often used interchangeably, but they are in fact two separate ways of grouping children according to their academic ability.
Streaming is where children are placed in groups according to their general academic ability; a child who is considered to be a high achiever across the board may be put into the top stream.
Setting is where children are grouped by ability according to subject. So a child who is gifted at maths but average at reading and spelling might be in the top set for maths, and the middle set for English.
So, first of all you must understand what you wont and what were the best for your child.
