  • Changed title to Average government primary school class sizes by school size (2009-2020) (previously Average government primary school class sizes by school size (2009-2019))


  • Updated description of Average government primary school class sizes by school size (2009-2020) from

    The class size audit is conducted in all NSW government primary, infant and central (primary grades only) schools in March each year. **Notes:** * Students attending schools for specific purposes (SSPs), students in support classes in regular schools and distance education students are excluded from average class size calculations. * The average class size for each year level is calculated from regular and multi-age classes that contain a student from that year level. This can result in a lower K-6 average class size than any individual year level. * From 2017, school size is based on primary enrolment rather than school classification. * Data from earlier years is not replaced in the Class Size fact sheet. Schools change size. Historical data displays the data that was correct in that year. **Data Source:** * Statistics Unit, Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation.
