Class sizes
Mainstream class groups, 2006/07 to 2025/26.
Why these won't match pupils by class
Mainstream class groups only. The source does not identify which standard/year group each class group belongs to. So these figures won't match the pupils-by-class figures exactly.

Teachers

How we count teachers
Class teachers come from the Department of Education's class sizes: one for each mainstream class. Special education and special class teachers are the posts the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) allocates. We add a principal who doesn't teach a class where the Department's rules give the school one. These are posts, not people: part of a post can be a teacher shared with another school. Up to 2015/16 the Department counted every teacher itself. Known data issues
In 2025/26
19.8teaching posts
Our estimate: about 20 teachers.
- Class teachersOne for each of the 14 mainstream classes 14
- PrincipalRuns the school and doesn't teach a class 1
- Special education teachers120 hours of support teaching a week 4.8
8.32 special needs assistants (SNAs) also work with pupils.
The NCSE has allocated 4.8 special education teachers and 8.32 SNAs for next year.

Teachers each school year, by role
To 2015/16: the Department of Education's count of every teacher. From 2019/20: our estimate, from class sizes and the NCSE's allocations. Dashed boxes: no special education figures were published for those years, so only class teachers and the principal are shown. Known data issues
