The mainstream staffing of a primary school is determined by applying the enrolment of the school on 30 September of the previous school year to a staffing schedule, which is issued annually to all primary schools. Based on the current staffing schedule, the school would be entitled to appoint a 13th mainstream class teacher on 1 September 2006 based on the enrolment figure in the school on 30 September 2005. The accommodation needs of the school are being assessed in my Department.
