School hails class of 70 a success

A pilot team-teaching scheme which saw 70 year three pupils being taught together has been hailed as a success.

John Starling, headteacher at Bure Valley School in Aylsham, said the initiative may be introduced in other years.

The children are taught in one group by two teachers and three teaching assistants.

"Teachers are enjoying it... and it's particularly good for newly-qualified teachers because they have an experienced colleague on hand," he explained.

Parent Nigel Daniels said the initiative seems to have gone well.

"I know people would normally feel that the smaller the class size the better but this is turning that idea on its head and we've been pleased," he commented.

Speaking last year before the general election, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said he would like to see classes of 20 or under for children in their first years of primary school.
