Notes:

Class size information relates to maintained primary schools and state-funded secondary schools; pupil:teacher ratios are for maintained schools only
Class size information refers to a single selected period in each school on the day of the school census and only to classes taught by one teacher.
National figures and total numbers of pupils have been rounded to the nearest 10.
The pupil:teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total FTE number of pupils on roll in schools by the total FTE number of qualified teachers regularly employed in schools.
For statistical purposes only, pupils who do not attend both morning and afternoon at least five days a week are regarded as part time. Each part-time pupil is treated as 0.5 FTE.
