STAFFING AND CLASS STRUCTURES

As we head toward the second half of term 4 we are beginning to plan for the 2024 school year, looking at staffing and class structures.  In a school our size each student number impacts our staffing allocation which then impacts what classes we can offer next year.  If you or someone you know are changing their plans for 2024 and may not be here or are moving into the area please contact the office so we make sure we do the very best we can for the benefits of all students here.

Once we have class structures finalised we then start looking at student placement  which takes into consideration teacher judgement and observations about:

• The needs of the child (educational, social, emotional and behavioural)
• The balance of student abilities within the class

We value the support of our parent community and give you the opportunity to provide information in writing which you believe the school needs to know that will help in placing your child for 2024.  Please email or send a letter to myself of your request by Friday 25^th November.  The information given will be kept confidential. If you would like to have a conversation about this I am very happy to meet to chat.  Please check with the office to make a time or I am always out and about before school each day.
