My daughter attends Reception at a school with one and a half class intake (45 pupils). The school decided to keep 15 Year One pupils back to make two classes of 30 pupils taught by 2 teachers in a shared space.
We have just discovered that the teachers take it in turns to take the 15 Year One pupils out of the class every morning for booster classes. This means 45 Reception children are left with one teacher every morning. The head argues that because there are also TAs present this is not a problem.
We're so concerned we're considering moving schools. Advice/ insight much appreciated.
BTW - the school in question is an Academy.
