Having met up again at 6th form with people from primary who failed 11-plus and went to secondary (as opposed to the local grammer I bounced into), it was clear that in their school it was wise not to be too clever in class as you would become a target for the usual scrotes.
In my school, it was clear that you tried your best not to be the thickest as it was these who got the hardest time - an interesting distinction at an impressionable age.
Still, you could say its character building and the cream will rise if it is cream.....

Loads of secondary state schools have streaming.

That means if your child is bright at every subject they aren't going to be in a class with the children who are likely to be the most disruptive.
