No I don't think so, kids like the stability of staying in the same class generally with the same people they know, sometimes a change might be necessary like moving someone up or down a class for a specific subject but otherwise I think it's fine and that kids will progress better in a class of people with similar abilities to themselves

PSHE will cover most of those issues you mentioned as well, think that's still a mandatory class at least till GCSE?
