Data are not readily available on pupil-teacher ratios in each national school due to teacher-sharing arrangements among national schools. However, data on average class sizes, excluding traveller and special class pupils integrated in ordinary classes, are contained in the file for 2004-05 for most of the schools specified by the Deputy. In the case of three schools, which are special schools, average class size cannot be estimated.

The Department has sanctioned a temporary teaching post to the school in question for the 2005-06 school year following consultation with the local special educational needs organiser and the Department inspectorate. Verbal sanction has been given to the school authorities and a formal letter will issue in the coming days. The SENO will keep the situation under review.
