Beyond Crowded Classrooms: Why Exeter Cathedral School Uses Small Classes to Tailor Learning

In today’s educational landscape, concerns about overcrowded classrooms are a growing reality. While navigating education choices for your child, understanding the impact of class size is crucial. Research consistently shows that smaller class sizes lead to improved academic performance, increased pupil engagement, and a more positive learning environment.

At Exeter Cathedral School, we believe that every child deserves individual attention and the opportunity to flourish, not just survive. Our commitment to remarkably tailored education starts with small class sizes, creating a supportive atmosphere for growth.

How Smaller Classes Benefit Your Pupil:

  • Individualised Attention: In a smaller class, teachers can dedicate more time to each pupil. This allows for personalised learning, identifying individual strengths and weaknesses and creating tailored teaching strategies.
  • Increased Engagement: Smaller classes foster a more interactive learning environment. Pupils feel more comfortable participating in discussions, asking questions and taking risks. This leads to a deeper understanding of the material.
  • Focus on Learning: With fewer distractions, pupils can concentrate better and learn more effectively.
  • Nurturing Potential: A smaller class size builds a stronger sense of community. Pupils feel more comfortable taking risks and exploring their talents, allowing them to nurture their true potential.

Beyond the Classroom:

Our small class size philosophy extends beyond academics. It creates a supportive school community where teachers know each pupil well, fostering a sense of belonging and encouraging healthy relationships.
