The criteria used for the allocation of teaching posts is published annually on the Department website. The key factor for determining the level of staffing resources provided at individual school level is the staffing schedule for the relevant school year and pupil enrolments on the previous 30 September. The staffing schedule operates in a clear and transparent manner and treats all similar types of schools equally, irrespective of location.

There is no change to the mainstream staffing of the school referred to by the Deputy in the current school year.

The staffing schedule for 2021/22 will be published early next year and at that stage, schools will be able to establish their staffing for that school year.
