Request

Please kindly provide the current amount of pupils in each class for each year group of each of the Island's primary and secondary schools.

I understand that Beaulieu and De La Salle are likely to be exempt from this information, although if the Education Department keeps any statistics on their class sizes, I would be grateful if the most recent version of these was also provided.

If the information is held and does not take the request over the time limit please also kindly provide the amount of teaching staff allocated to each class.

Please also kindly provide links / references to any laws / regulations that control the class sizes in Jersey.

The table below lists the head count of teaching staff in each school. Please note this does not include non-teaching staff or volunteers. The Education Department is unable to provide the number of teaching staff allocated to each class. This is due to lessons being taught by subject in secondary schools and staff covering in more than one class in primary schools.
