Great news

I was so delighted with the news that the Government has retracted their policy to increase class sizes. While I appreciate they have done this as a result of 'parent voice' I sincerely hope they recognise the pitfalls of larger class sizes, and the fact that teaching has changed this century and teachers provide individualised teaching for students in their classes. We all understand that ineffective teachers will not be successful even if they are teaching a class of 10 but I can reassure you that we provide quality teaching at Shirley Primary School and implement a robust performance management programme in which our teachers strive, and learn, to be even more effective:)
