The DoE proposal talks around it but explains that low performers do better when high performers tutor them in small group projects, because teachers can't teach a whole class.

What it doesn't say is to let that happen but then also split into groups for ability-customized lessons.

If high performers are expected to tutor low performers, then the high performers ought to be paid a salary by the school. Otherwise, such an expectation of work cannot be expected. The teachers are being paid to do a job, they are the oned who are responsible for doing the job.
