The criteria used for the allocation of teaching posts to schools includes the provision whereby schools experiencing rapid increases in enrolment can apply for additional mainstream posts on developing grounds, using projected enrolment. The retention of such posts in the current school year is subject to schools' having achieved their projected enrolment on 30 September. If the enrolment is not achieved the post allocated on developing grounds is suppressed.The school referred to by the Deputy applied for an additional post under developing grounds criteria. As the school did not meet the required enrolment numbers to sustain this post, the post was suppressed.

The teacher concerned has been successfully redeployed to a vacancy in another school.
