Class sizes
Mainstream class groups, 2017/18 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.

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
27.2teaching posts
Our estimate: about 27 teachers.

- PrincipalRuns the school and doesn't teach a class 1
- Special education teachers180 hours of support teaching a week 7.2
- Special class teachersFor 3 autism classes 3
11 special needs assistants (SNAs) also work with pupils. 18 pupils are in special classes, which the class sizes leave out.
The NCSE has allocated 7.3 special education teachers, 3 special class teachers and 11 SNAs for next year.
