Guest Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Hi I've searched everywherebut can't find any guidelines I know in reception class that a teacher ratio is 1:30. What about TA's?? Say if a teacher asked a TA to go outdoors with a group of children in Reception, what is the ratio of children to Ta's??
Froglet Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I don't think there is one. As there is no requirement to have more than 1:30 adults in reception it could be that you were outside with all of them. If you do want to limit numbers then I'd use your professional judgement about what activities were taking place outside and how many children could safely do them.
catma Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 It's up to you and your professional judgement. A TA could cover the class short term if the HT thinks they are suitable and they are under the direction of a QT so a group going outside is just what you feel is appropriate. Cx
