The School

Organisation of Classes

We have three and-a-half classes, with flexible grouping and smaller than average numbers. This enables us to put an emphasis on individual work and help all children to achieve their full potential.

Co-operative working in variable sized groups is also part of our organisation as this is an essential aspect of learning and relating to other people.

The following table gives a breakdown of our present class arrangements:
