School colour-codes pupils by ability

I’m trying to work out just how wrong this is? I know it’s not right because it just feels terribly wrong. But. I do support setting, we do it in Maths in every secondary school I’ve ever worked in because it just works. Pupils do need to work at different paces and ability levels. But taking that one step further to have school ‘houses’ based on ability just feels, well, wrong.

What do you think?
