The staffing of a national school for a particular year is determined by the enrolment of the school on 30 September of the previous school year.
The enrolment of the school in question on 30 September 1995 was 82 pupils, which warrants a staffing of a principal and two assistant teachers for the 1996-97 school year. The existing staffing at the school is a principal and two assistant teachers.
