Read somewhere about teacher to pupil ratio may lead to some redundancies in a school somewhere outside, I just wondered what the ratio is in our own Grammar School?

One pupil equals 0.0657 of a teacher.

So any redundancies in CGS then?

Cheers WC1. So what is the Teacher to Pupil ratio (start to mix myself up - eg so for every teacher there is 8.6 pupils)

If the ratio works out at 0.0657 that would be 15.22 pupils per teacher, how does that work if there are specialist subjects and they are not "subscibed" to? I assume teachers have to diversify?

Curious to know if there are to be redundancies at CGS.

There was suggestion that a Math and English teacher would go and 2 others who are retiring will not be replaced. So I suppose if that is true there will be 4 teachers less at CGS?
