Class Organisation

The school's pupil admission number (PAN) is 15. This is the maximum number of children that we can have in a year group.

Class 1 - Squirrel Class, is our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) class, sometimes known as the Reception Class. It has a maximum of 15 children in it.

Class 2- Robin Class, is our mixed class of Year 1 and Year 2 children.

Class 3- Fox Class, is our mixed class of Year 3 and Year 4 children.

Class 4- Owl Class, is our mixed class of Year 5 and Year 6 children.

Teaching and Learning in a mixed year group class

With a PAN of 15 pupils, it is necessary for us to organise the children into mixed year classes as explained above, with two year groups in each class. Whilst this is a necessity, there are many advantages for the children to be organised in this way:

each child spends 2 years with each teacher. This means that the teacher gets to know each child incredibly well and there is a seamless continuation of the learning journey into the second year.
The children become very familiar with the routines of the class and the expectations of the teacher allowing them to feel confident and relaxed in the learning environment.
