Answer 1

Answer:

This report gives an overview of the existing evidence base on class size and education in  

England. In particular, it considers how class sizes have changed over time; the impact of the  

increase in birth rate on pupil numbers and how this could affect the teacher requirement and  

class sizes; and the impact of class size on educational outcomes. The report also considers  

the impact of the 1998 School Standards and Framework Act1

. This put a duty on Local  

Authorities (LAs) and schools to limit the size of infant classes taught by one teacher to 30  

pupils. It became a legal requirement from September 2001. Local authority plans, produced  

in order to ensure the legal requirement was met, were subject to challenge, approval,  

intervention when required, funding and monitoring, and held to account against delivery.
