The Deputy will be aware that the general allocation system was implemented with effect from September 2005 and it is intended that a review of the system will take place within three years of operation.

The school in question has entered into a cluster arrangement with another school and receives 0.3 of a teaching service from a teacher based in the other school. I have no plans to increase the general allocation hours to the school in advance of the review.
