Some 44 small primary schools lost a classroom teaching post as a consequence of the Budget 2012 measures in the 2014/15 school year. Small schools can also gain or lose a classroom teaching post as a result of changes in enrolments. The Statistics Section of my Department's website contains extensive data at individual school level in county order. The most recent published information relates to the 2013/2014 school year. Data in relation to primary schools in the current school year are not yet available to my Department. The National School Annual Census is generally returned by schools to the Department by end October. Data relating to the 2014/15 will be published later in the current school year.
