Small year size or larger?

[MollieO]

Choice is co-ed and 40 in the year or single sex and 12. Not sure how to decide.

Another factor is that in the independent sector small class / school size can mean financial problems / that the school is not viable in the current economic situation.

Ie on gives a choice of 12 friends your gender and the other 20 total 10 in your class.

Not much of a difference looking at it like that.

Only the biggest years in our rural primary do that. Several years have only 4 or 5 the same gender. Yes it does get difficult.

My ds was in a year size of 4! It was great, there are now about 9 in the year but they put 2 years together, the whole school only has about 70 so they all know each other.

My ds had speech problems and the small class meant they had plenty of time to work on his speech, personally I would never send my ds' to a school with big classes.
