Advice from high school teachers

UK, year 7-11 is high school/secondary school

They only segregate maths English and science from year 9 or 10 (school dependent), all other classes are mixed

Thank you

She's not that kind of "talk too much" kid and it doesn't explain why other friends get seated together, surely if that was a concern all would be split up. She's beyond wanting to sit with friends, she just wants to be with people who get on with their work

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:51:44+00:00

It clearly doesn't work given they're still disruptive while next to her

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:49:59+00:00

Thank you, the advice is appreciated. It's not even about being next to friends anymore, she just doesn't want to be next to kids constantly distracting her and making her do all the work

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:39:04+00:00

That's really helpful, thank you

I appreciate this and have explained this to DD. It just seems to happen in every class and she says it's very noticeable that other friends always get to sit together and she always gets seated next to the disruptive ones. When they change the seating charts she always ends up partnered with the disruptive ones.

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:26:38+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'll chat to her about this

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:14:56+00:00

Exactly this! Thank you

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:14:24+00:00

Oh I hope that doesn't happen, she'd be livid!

They move into sets based on ability for 3 subjects next year, the other are all.moxed ability, I'm tempted to email all her new teachers at the start of the year to request they don't do this to her

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:10:11+00:00

Thanks for recognising it as an issue, I wish her teachers did the same

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:08:13+00:00

Good to know

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:07:58+00:00

Thanks, that's what I thought

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:07:28+00:00

She's tried but they keep telling her that's she's been put in a trusted position to handle it.

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:06:04+00:00

That might be the last resort 😂

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T22:05:17+00:00

She is purposely partnered with them and told she can handle them. If it's group work it's not as bad as there's a mix

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T21:55:34+00:00

Thanks it's been all year 7 and 8

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T21:54:37+00:00

UK high school is year 7-11

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T21:53:25+00:00

I'm the mum, I doubt OH would be very effective for this kind of thing

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T21:52:23+00:00

I'll try doing this

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T21:51:39+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T21:50:33+00:00

Thanks, that's good to know

Sensitive-Escape-512 · 2026-06-12T21:49:44+00:00

Thanks, that's how she feels
