It depends on the school.
Primary schools (up to age 11) the kids nearly always stay with the same group for all their lessons.
Secondary schools (11-14) - some schools keep classes together for all or most of their subjects, some set by ability in many or most subjects. My daughter's school sets in Maths and French, and mixes the classes up for craft lessons, all the rest of the time they are taught as a class.
Age 14-18 you choose your subjects, so obviously you can't be with the same people all the time unless they chose the exact same combination you did.
They stay with the same class...until secondary school when at the age of 11 they get new classes becasue that school has gor kids from many schools arriving and the class needs to be started fresh...but thats the class you keep till you leave...I think it's a bit cruel to change little peoples classes all the time...they like their routine dont they?
