§ Mr. BreedTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what assessment he has made of the link between class sizes and overall pupil performance at Key Stages 1 to 4. [109806]
§ Ms Estelle MorrisThe evidence, including from Ofsted, indicates that class size is most important at Key Stage 1. That is why we have pledged to reduce the size of infant classes. The pledge will ensure that all children benefit from infant classes of 30 or below, and will help to give young pupils the important start they need.
