HC Deb 14 October 1952 vol 505 cc12-3W
Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Education the numbers of classes of over 40, over 50 and over 60 pupils, respectively, at the latest date for which figures are available.

Miss Horsbrugh

In January last there were 39,026 classes with more than 40 pupils, 1,240 with more than 50 pupils and 19 with more than 60 pupils on the register. Of the classes with over 60 pupils eight were in secondary grammar or technical schools and were assembled together only for registration purposes; two others were taught by more than one teacher, and the remainder have now been reduced in size through the provision of additional accommodation or an extra teacher.
