Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 28 April 2005
219 Ms Burton asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of classes in a school (details supplied) in Dublin 15 which have 30 or more children; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13792/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe mainstream staffing of a primary school is determined by applying the enrolment of the school on 30 September of the previous school year to a staffing schedule, agreed between my Department and the education partners. The system for allocating teachers to primary schools is based on ensuring an overall maximum class of 29 in each school. Where some classes in a school have class sizes of greater than 29, it is generally because a decision has been taken at local level to use the teaching resources to have smaller numbers in other classes.
In the 2003-04 school year, the last year for which details are available, there were 19 classes of over 30 pupils in the school referred to by the Deputy. However the average class size in the school is 28. In accordance with the staffing schedule, the staffing of the school for the current school year is a principal and 26 mainstream class teachers based on an enrolment of 752 pupils at 30 September 2003. In addition the school has two resource posts, two learning support teacher posts and three temporary language support posts.
My Department will finalise the staffing schedule for the 2005-06 school year shortly and thereafter notify school boards of management. According to data submitted to my Department by the board of management, the enrolment in the school on 30 September 2004 was 733 pupils. The staffing for the 2005-06 school year will be determined on the basis of this figure and in accordance with the relevant staffing schedule.
The area in which the school in question is located is experiencing phenomenal growth. My Department has a range of measures in train to address the educational needs in this rapidly developing area.
