answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2014 answer text <p>There are no plans to raise the infant class size limit of 30 pupils per school teacher. The Department for Education believes that smaller infant classes have a positive effect on the progress of younger pupils.</p><p>However, there are already a small number of prescribed exceptions where the limit of 30 pupils per teacher can lawfully be exceeded. These exceptions exist to protect the most vulnerable children such as children in care, children with a statement of special educational needs or children who move into an area where there is no other suitable school place available for them.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 01/09/2014 12:02:09 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws
