HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE THERE IN A CLASS?

PRIMARY SCHOOL

Our policy as far as numbers is concerned, is as follows:

• Gr 00 - 20 pupils per class
• Gr 0 - 25 pupils per class
• Gr 1-3 - approx 26 pupils per class
• Gr 4-7 - up to 28 pupils per class.

We have used the above numbers as a rough guide for the past few years but, under exceptional circumstances, a class may be taken up or down, by a number or two. We do not feel that these numbers compromise the education that we offer and continually review the situation to ensure that quality education takes place.

In the High School , numbers vary from 28-30 students per class.
In the FET phase, classes may have as few as 12 students up to 28.
