The school referred to by the Deputy is a newly established school which originally projected that it would have an enrolment of 25 pupils on 30 September, 2012. Based on this projected enrolment the school was allocated a principal and 1 mainstream teaching post for the current school year. The required level of enrolment, minimum of 20 pupils, failed to materialise at 30 September 2012. The school submitted an appeal to the Primary Staffing Appeal Board which met on 18 October. The appeal was provisionally upheld on the basis that the school will secure it's projected enrolment by 31 December, 2012. If the required enrolment is not achieved at that date the post will be suppressed. The Board of Management of the school has been notified accordingly.
