Criteria for mixed classes at Linton Primary School

At Linton Primary School the Pupil Admission Number is 40, therefore classes throughout school have to be mixed age. When creating the classes, staff work together using a range of criteria to ensure the best mix of pupils. Wherever possible, no particular group of pupils will be over represented in any class. Decisions are always made in the pupils’ best interests.
