This publication brings together the available information about pupil: teacher ratios, average class sizes and the size of classes as taught in schools in England. The key figures have already been published in annual statistical volumes and statistical press notices but there will be more extensive analyses, including longer time series, in the bulletin. Pupil: teacher ratios will be reported from 1947 to 2001, January primary and secondary class sizes from 1978 to 2001 - with 2002 provisional figures and September infant class sizes from 1998 to 2001.
