What is the ratio of teacher to pupils?

[flowerpot1000000]

DS was onsite in games yesterday. There was 1 teacher with 35 pupils. Is this about right?

This is secondary.

SOunds ok

Yes, that’s fine. The only class size regulations involve early years and key stage one. They should risk assess though if it’s a particularly large group, especially for PE.

A lot of secondary school classes are now limited by size of classroom more than anything else. 30+ is quite common in all subjects in KS3, so 35 in PE seems reasonable.

Did you have a particular concern?

I’ve taught 36 year 9s in a science class before - only Technology subjects have restrictions to 20 in a class at secondary

Average of 32 here (secondary).

It sounds large for a classroom subject but not unusually large for PE.

1:8 in my class of 16 with TA (but private ks1)

My top sets are all 34-36

No limit at secondary.

I have 34 top set ks3

Here in Au, 26 is tops. After that the teacher gets reductions on covers.

Most groups after year 10 are 19-22, often less.
