We are a village school; our small, family feel is a strength. We currently have one class per year group but in the event that we need to reduce the number of classes we have, the governors have agreed a set of principles and aims when splitting year groups:

• Wherever possible, we aim to keep the key stages separate – Foundation Stage (4-5 years), Key Stage 1 (5-7 years) and Key Stage 2 (7-11 years)
• Wherever possible, we aim to keep all class sizes as small as we can in order to maintain a warm, family feel
• We will base any splitting decisions primarily on age/birth dates
• We will carefully track the progress of any split cohorts to ensure equality of progress
• We will ensure equality of opportunity and provision across classes where cohorts are split so that no child is at a disadvantage
