Classes at John Mayne

John Mayne has a four class structure.

With seven year groups we will always have some mixed age classes. 

Our approach is to take a holistic view of each child and the overall balance of each class to make the best learning environment for everyone in the school.

We take the following into consideration:

• Attainment in the Foundation Stage profile or teacher assessments
• Combining children into teaching groups so that staffing and interventions can be managed efficiently
• Siblings
• Age and maturity
• Friendships
• Balance of class sizes

Currently class are

Foxes - Reception

Hedgehogs - Year 1 and Year 2

Squirrels - Year 3 and Year 4

Badgers - Year 5 and Year 6

 We take seriously a commitment to ensure that children continue to make good progress whichever class they are in and carefully monitor the progress of every child in the school.
