cant be mor than 30 anyway in ks1

ScummyMummy · 15/10/2004 16:06

My sons are in Y1 and both have around 20 in their respective classes.

princesspeahead · 15/10/2004 16:07

60 in a class is unforgiveable IMO. Doesn't matter if they have two teachers there. That isn't education, that is mass babysitting. How on earth do they attempt to justify it? They save the pitiful wages of a teaching assistant?

Mine - 16 in each (Y2 and nursery), one teacher, one assistant (private).

Yorkiegirl you are not guarentered not to have more than 30. Some mixed aged classes have more than 30. Also I know of schools were parents have successfully appealed to get their child into over subscribed schools meaning class sizes of 31 or 32.

ds - Primary 1 - 10 (there are only 23 in the whole school). There is one main classroom teacher and a variety of support teachers. ds gets support as he has special needs but she helps the other children as well.

Kindergarten (Year 1 equivalent I think - my daughter just turned 5). There are 25 kids and 2 teachers.

hmb · 15/10/2004 17:33

dd y3 12 in class, she has a form tutor but specialist teachers for PE and sport, music, science and ICT, PHSE/RE, Maths and French. Her form tutor teaches her english , geography and history. She has one to one for cello.

Ds is in recption. There are 10 in the class with a teacher and a classroom assistant. Both are in the same private school.

What do you make of this at a friend's school.
Yr2 has 38 children, yr1 has 21 children, but they are split into two (mixed age) classes of 29/30 children each. BUT the literacy hour and the numeracy hour are taught in year groups: i.e. the whole morning.

My friend thinks it's legal, because for registration they only have 30 in a class.

codswallop · 15/10/2004 18:20

the governing body has to set the limit for classes in KS2 - we have set ours at 31
ks1 there is a ruls of 30 deffo
