    I'm not sure of the context in which the term was used, but I attended British schools during the 1970's.

    At that time in the secondary school I attended we were put into "sets". These sets grouped the children together who learned at a similar rate. There were 8 main sets. Set 1 learned at a quicker rate then set 2 etc. We were also in separate sets or groups for math and literacy.

    So maybe "setting" refers to the way that the children were/are sorted into ability groups.
