Staffing Exercise Update 
1. Background
The annual staffing exercise, which commences in December each year and
is undertaken in order to ensure that sufficient staffing resource is in place
within educational establishments across Renfrewshire for the start of session
each August, is well underway.  
Part of the process involves consideration and allocation of various categories
of staff prior to recruitment of additional permanent or temporary teaching
staff. 
This includes distribution of the local authority allocation of both primary and
secondary newly qualified teachers (NQTs), teachers declared surplus,
primary permanent supply, and those who acquire entitlement to permanency
under the terms of the JNC20 Policy: Scheme for the Appointment of
Temporary Teachers to Permanent Posts.
2. Proposed Primary Fixed Term Recruitment Process – Target Schools
To support effective delivery and raising attainment and achievement in a
several primary target schools we intend allocating a number of primary
teachers on a fixed term temporary basis.
These teachers will be secured following an internal to Renfrewshire
recruitment process commencing in August, allowing application to be made
from our current NQTs who acquire full GTCS registration in June 2025, as
well as those presently on our Primary supply list.
Secondary schools - corresponding additional resource to secondary schools
may take the form of the allocation of a temporary primary teacher to each of
the eleven schools.
3. Recommendation
Note the current position in relation to the staffing exercise for the
commencement of session in August 2025 and proposed fixed term
recruitment process and allocation.
