Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 79 and 97 together.
The primary school staffing arrangements for the 2026/27 school year are set out in Circular 0025/2026. These arrangements contain an appeals mechanism for schools to submit a staffing appeal under certain criteria to an independent Primary Staffing Appeals Board.
The Primary Staffing Appeals Board will meet in May, June and October to consider staffing appeals for the 2026/27 school year.
The first meeting of the Board will take place this week and schools will be notified of the outcome of their appeals later in the week.
