Thank you so much for your informative reply Eric. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to rearrange classes. I just have to put up with mixed ability. Rediculous, but that's China for you! I shall certainly have a look at the text books you mention though I'm not sure I'll be able to afford to buy the whole series. I'll probably end up making a note of the contents and try to develop some sort of differentiated curriculum from there. Thanks again. I'll let you know how it goes when I start in September!
