Who makes the decisions on appointment of school staff?
The governing body of a new school has the power and responsibility to make staff appointments. When a new school is to be established, a temporary governing body is set up in advance of the opening date in order to prepare for the new school. The Local Authority has put in place a staffing agreement to enable governing bodies to give first consideration to staff displaced from closing schools when making appointments. There will be consultation with the relevant trade unions during this process.
