What will happen to staff in an amalgamated school?
The two West Lodge Schools are high-achieving schools and the staffed are valued. Whether the schools are separate or amalgamated, they would need the same number of staff teaching the same number of children and classes. There have been no redundancies in Harrow schools that have amalgamated. Other schools that have amalgamated have put in place a shadow staffing structure, and then, over time, a new structure is developed by the new headteacher to meet the needs of the school and its pupils. There is consultation with staff and unions throughout this process. A new headteacher would consider the talents and skills available and use them appropriately and in consultation with staff. One of the new Governing Body’s jobs would be to appoint a headteacher and work with the headteacher to set up the new staffing structure. There are mandatory safeguards in the terms and conditions of teachers and other staff in the school to provide salary protection for changes to responsibilities reflec
