It is a great set-up - for now - but this is mainly due to her teacher. Her school has a great reputation but this teacher had another of my children recently and she really is fantastic. Older, experienced and sort of intuitive/holistic as to which aspects to attend to and which to watch and wait develop. Her background is actually in learning support but she's been in mainstream classes for years and years.
Puffin, my eldest was in the same maths pull out class last year and she said even kids who were unusually good at maths were getting things wrong because some of it was quite hard. In DD7's year there's another girl who is likely also getting everything right and they sit next to each other in class and chat about their enrichment activities.
ETA: they chat about everything else too, they're great friends!
