The proposal is to discontinue Stamford Park Infant School and to expand the age range of Stamford Park Junior School to enable it to accommodate the displaced pupils and become Stamford Park Primary School. The Junior School would retain its original school number as it is not a new school, even if its name has changed. Therefore the Headteacher of Stamford Park Junior School will become the Headteacher of the Primary School.
Both schools are community schools, which means that Trafford Council are the employer of all staff. There are no proposed changes to this; Trafford Council will remain the employer of all staff, and there are therefore no TUPE implications. Staff terms and conditions will remain the same. In addition, other than the removal of one Headteacher position, there are no proposed changes to the staffing structure.
Support is available to staff throughout this process from their Line Manager and also the Trade Unions. Counselling support is available through the school’s Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
There are also some frequently asked questions for staff. These will be added to as we receive any comments or queries from staff.
