The Statistics Section of my Department's website contains information relating to class size in primary schools for the school years 2006/07 to 2008/09. The information includes the number of pupils in each class, the number of pupils in each class size range and the number of teachers in each school. The primary census for the 2009/10 school year is currently underway and the final outcome will be made available when this process is completed.
