millhill Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 If you are in a one and a half form entry class (45 children), please could you let me know how many staff you have working at one time? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I think you need 2 teachers at all times! TAs etc depend on school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millhill Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks susan. It is the amount of TAs I am interested to find out about. When there are 2 classrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 One of our 45 intake schools that I know of has mixed year groups in each year so they have a reception and a reception yr1, Yr 1 and a Yr1/yr 2 etc. They have a teacher and a TA for each class group.

Guest ShelleyT Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I believe the ratio is one teacher to 30 children. Therefore you need two teachers. Legally I don't think you need any other staff but most schools would have one LSA per class. We do not always have an LSA. Some afternoons we have one between both classes.

MrsL Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Yes millhill, except the ta doesn't work Friday afternoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Was wondering what happens if more children join after the classes have been set. For example say there were on 28 expected but by September this increases to say 33 and there is only 1 teacher (but school has a 45 intake). Any ideas?

catma Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Under infant class size legislation it is 30 per class group so you would need another teacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
