Class Organisation

From September 2018 our published admission number increased to 60 pupils. This will gradually feed up through the School making us a 2 form of entry primary school in each year group. 

At present, from Nursery through to Year 4 there are a maximum of 60 pupils in each year group.  Year 5 & 6 are on the old admission number of 45 pupils.  As this too many for one class, we, like many other primary schools, organise the pupils into mixed aged classes. 

The class structure is as follows:

Key Stage and Class Class Size Ages
Foundation Stage    
Acorn (Morning Nursery) 22/23 pupils rising 4 year olds
Acorn (Afternoon Nursery) 22/23 pupils rising 4 year olds
Ash (Reception) 30 pupils rising 5 year olds
