Class sizes

Mainstream class groups, 2021/22 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

15teaching posts

Our estimate: about 15 teachers.

  • Class teachersOne for each of the 8 mainstream classes 8
  • PrincipalRuns the school and doesn't teach a class 1
  • Special education teachers125 hours of support teaching a week 5
  • Special class teachersFor an autism class 1

7.66 special needs assistants (SNAs) also work with pupils. 6 pupils are in special classes, which the class sizes leave out.

2026/27 allocations

The NCSE has allocated 5.1 special education teachers, 1 special class teacher and 7.66 SNAs for next year.
