The school referred to by the Deputy is a newly established school which originally projected that it would have an enrolment of 25 pupils on 30 September, 2012. Based on this projected enrolment the school was allocated a principal and 1 mainstream teaching post for the current school year. The required level of enrolment, minimum of 20 pupils, failed to materialise at 30 September 2012. This therefore results in the suppression of the second post. However, it is open to the school to submit an appeal to the next meeting of the Primary Staffing Appeals Board which will be held on Thursday 18 October, 2012. The school has been notified in this regard.
