Hi Everyone,
We're just deciding on schools for our children and like both Parkgate House and Eaton House. However I've just learned that the pupil to teacher ratio is quite high at Parkgate House - 1 teacher and 1 teaching assistant to 18 children in the Nursery.
I'm not sure what the ratio is when they reach pre-prep - but the Nursery ratio seems high - particularly given that it's both a private school and very small (only 200 children in total).
Does anyone have any thoughts, or any pupil/teacher ratios to compare for other schools and nurseries in the area?
Regarding Nursery, I had thought there was a rule about having at least 1 adult per 3-4 children .... Advice and thoughts from other parents would be greatly appreciated!
