Formation of Classes 2025 

This term, we will begin the process of forming classes for 2025. This involves gathering information from teachers, students and parents. 

Students will be asked to nominate three to five peers who they would like to be in the same class with, in 2025. From this list, they will be guaranteed one peer. They may decide to choose children they play with only at school or children of a different gender. Although you might discuss this list at home, it is an important part of the process that students are allowed their own voice.

As parents, you will be invited to share some information relating to your child’s learning and any particular personality clashes that you would like us to consider, when forming classes.   Parent voice in this process, does not include requesting certain friends or particular teachers.

As a teaching team, we consider academic data, behaviour, learning styles, English as a Second Language and disabilities in forming class groups.

Please do not send any information or requests at this point; a link will be distributed later in the term. 

As always, when classes are formed, they remain in draft until day 8 of 2025.
