At Dover Court our small class sizes allow us to provide education that is tailored to your child's individual needs.
We believe that by teaching children in smaller groups, we can devote more time to their individual needs and personalise their learning.
The classroom is a place of exciting and enriching activities, and small class sizes help our teachers to focus on the requirements of each child.
All classrooms are fully air-conditioned, light, airy and equipped with purpose-built school furniture. Students are encouraged to take pride in their environment. After all, a large proportion of their lives is spent at school.
Class Ratio
Our intended maximum class size can be found below. We believe that these sizes go hand in hand with the Dover Court ethos of providing personalised learning for each child. This is substantially below what is allowed by the Committee for Private Education.
Pathway 1 (Mainstream)
- 24 intended maximum
- 1 fully qualified teacher
- 1 teaching assistant at KS1 Level
EAL
- 16 intended maximum
- 1 fully qualified teacher
Pathways 2 and 3
- 8-10 intended maximum
- 1 fully qualified teacher
- 1 teaching assistant at all levels
The benefits of smaller classes
- Students' attention is focused on the lesson
- Children get to know each other well and form lasting friendships
- Teachers can adjust their programme to suit every child's needs
- Students are encouraged to participate and express themselves
