West Country teacher has 64 pupils in one class and says urgent change is needed

A West Country teacher can have up to 64 pupils in one class and says urgent change is needed.

Head of maths at Gloucester's Henley Bank High School, Wayne Partridge took part in the sixth National Education Union (NEU) since February as he said he struggles to give his very large class "a really good education".

Mr Partridge told the BBC that he felt he was unable to give the pupils in his class one-to-one attention due to there being so many of them. He added he "felt bad" for his pupils as he claimed the Brockworth school did not have enough funds to hire another teacher. reports Gloucestershire Live.
