Abstract
In the UK, there is a long tradition of grouping students by ‘ability’, particularly in mathematics. This practice is founded upon a widespread and deeply held belief that ability grouping raises attainment. However, the research that has been conducted on the relationship between ability grouping and achievement suggests that this is not the case.
