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.

The staffing process contains an appeals mechanism for primary schools. The school referred to by the Deputy has been allocated an additional teaching post on appeal, pending confirmation of the school's enrolment on 30th September.
