Hi everyone.
A Reception setting I know has two areas - one indoor classroom and an adjacent small outdoor area. There is one classteacher and only 15 children. No teaching assistant.
The children can move independently between the two areas, but that means one of the areas will have no adult supervision.
Is the school meeting statutory requirements? Both areas are seen as 'one' EYFS classroom, meeting the 1:30 ratio for Reception children?
If the answer is 'no', could you point me in the direction of any statutory guidance to help the school out? Can't see my question answered in the Framework.
Thank you.
