Why do class sizes vary so much between local authorities?

Class sizes depend on local demographic trends (birth rate fluctuations), number of available schools and teachers, local authority budget decisions, and whether schools operate under- or over-capacity. Rural areas like Westmorland and Furness (GSRI 114.0) often have smaller schools with naturally smaller classes. Urban authorities with rapid population growth tend towards larger classes. Class sizes in England are regulated by the infant class size legislation (30-pupil limit for Key Stage 1) but secondary classes have no statutory cap. Real DfE data, OGL v3.0.

How is the Gera School Resource Index calculated?

The Gera School Resource Index uses two real DfE figures: average primary class size and average secondary class size, both for 2025/26. For each LA: pScore = round((England_primary_avg ÷ LA_primary) × 100, 1); sScore = round((England_secondary_avg ÷ LA_secondary) × 100, 1); GSRI = round((pScore + sScore) ÷ 2, 1). England averages are 26.2 (primary) and 22.6 (secondary), both pupil-weighted across all published LAs. Full methodology at https://geralearn.com/school-resource-index/methodology.

How the Gera School Resource Index is calculated for Haringey

The GSRI compares each local authority's average class sizes to the England pupil-weighted average, then averages the two ratios.

pScore = round((26.16 ÷ 26.2) × 100, 1) = 99.8

sScore = round((22.64 ÷ 22.03) × 100, 1) = 102.8

GSRI = round((99.8 + 102.8) ÷ 2, 1) = 101.3

A GSRI of 101.3 means Haringey has smaller-than-average classes — more direct teacher time per pupil than the England mean. Full methodology →
