Can a set who's learning higher become a foundation set?

Just a question as my Maths set is doing higher ATM but I think only set 1,2 and 3 are going to be doing higher until year 11 (I am year 9). Can it just change? Or does it have to remain the same.

In my school, you were moved down to foundation if you got less than at 4 in your year 11 November / February mock. It’s relative and my current head of year at the time told me it’s only fully decided a few months before your actual exam.

You can move up from foundation too, but how hard that is depends on your current ability and your school’s willingness to move you too.

I don't think the school will move a whole set, probably only individual students

Sorry I phrased it wrong: I am in set 4 and my set is doing higher at the moment, but in my school only set 1, 2 and 3 are doing higher but set 4 is doing higher now. I was wondering, by year 11 would it still be doing higher or can it change to foundation?

The school can teach however they want and switch if they want to, but they'll probably consult everyone, and probably won't teach higher to start with if they plan on going back to foundation. How sure are you that only 1-3 do higher?

Well, last year 1-4 did higher, before that only 1-3 did, also my maths teacher told me that set 4 will be a foundation set by year 11. Not only that but my sister (who is in year 11) said her set 4 friends are doing a foundation mock paper instead of a higher.

Your maths teacher knows best, no one here does. Are you concerned about doing the foundation or higher?

It willldepend how everyone is doing. We aim for Higher until mocks in Year 11 and then some individuals might do Foundation.

Well I would like to do higher because my sister is in set 1 maths and very good at it and has the revision guides and stuff and could help me if I am stuck. Also I just wanna do higher because foundation seems way too easy and I have friends who are in a foundation set and they showed me some of their work and it was very easy.

It wil vary - I'm in a selective school so very few end up doing Foundation.

They will move you individually. If they think you are capable of the higher paper, they will most likely move you up a set to work on higher questions with the rest of the class.
