The staffing of a primary school is determined by reference to the enrolment of the school on the 30 September of the previous school year. This is in accordance with guidelines agreed between my Department and the education partners.
In the current school year the staffing of the school referred to by the Deputy is a principal plus two mainstream class teachers based on an enrolment of 54 pupils at 30 September 2002.
Based on an enrolment of 50 pupils at 30 September 2003, I am pleased to inform the Deputy that, in accordance with the staffing schedule, the staffing of the school for the 2004-05 school year will remain unchanged at principal plus two mainstream class teachers.
