Default Class sizes in AD Schools

A colleague has asked me about schools in AD and in particular the average class size in British Schools. Can someone advise please. Thanks

Also does anybody know if BSAK or the Pearl have a bus service from town? I have the bus details for Al Yasmina. Thanks

BSAK is supposed to be 25 max in juniors and 20 max in seniors. I don't think they stick to those numbers rigidly but it's still much smaller class sizes than most UK schools.

Sorry, and for part two of your question - BSAK itself doesn't offer a bus service but there are companies that run mini-buses too and from the school and town.

UK standard (as per government guidelines) is 30 maximum although in reality its more like 31/32. I speak from bitter experience when working on a schools PFI project in a previous life.

Busybee 2 I know for a fact that they do sometimes go over their numbers as my daughter in seniors had over 20 in her class last year. It was only 21 or 22 but that magic 20 is not always adhered to.

There are 16 in DD's FS class at Al Yasmina and they are apparently full. They have one teacher ad two teaching assistants.
