OUR SCHOOL DAY

ORGANISATION

This academic year, Haslington Primary Academy has 273 children on roll. As the school has a PAN (Published Admissions Number) of 45, this means that we have some mixed year groups throughout the school. Classes in Key Stage 1 can only have the maximum of 30 children in each class. Children are placed in their classes following in-depth discussions with their previous teacher and based on a range of criteria.

Haslington has 9 classes for 2023/24
