New limits on the number of children enrolled into primary one and first year classes in Glasgow will be introduced for the 2023/24 school year.
The current statutory maximum class sizes for 25 pupils for primary one, 30 pupils for primary 2 and 3 and 33 pupils for primary 4 to 7, while composite classes have a maximum of 25 students. In S1 and S2 the maximum class size is 33 and 30 pupils for S3 to S6.
But the new rules will mean that each class will have a different capacity depending on the overall size of the school, the number of pupils in each stage, the number of classrooms and staffing available and the number of available secondary school practical rooms as well as timetabling requirements.
