Teachers
Teaching posts and special needs assistants (SNAs) at Libermann Spiritan School, 2022/23 to 2025/26.
Where these figures come from
The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) allocates each special school its teaching posts and SNAs, and these are its figures as published each year. They're posts, not people: part of a post can be a teacher shared with another school. The NCSE published no figures for special schools for 2020/21 and 2021/22. From 2026/27 it lists a principal and deputy who don't teach a class separately; earlier files don't say how they're counted. Known data issues
In 2025/26
11teaching posts
The NCSE's allocation: about 4.6 pupils per teaching post.

43 special needs assistants (SNAs) also work with pupils.
The NCSE has allocated 11 teaching posts and 1 exceptional post, a principal and a deputy principal who don't teach a class, and 45 SNAs for next year.
