Please be aware
The current Strategic Defence Spending Review will lead to a reduction of schools within SCE and it is expected British Forces in Germany will not continue beyond 2020. However, the Strategic Defence Spending Review has no known impact upon schools outside of Germany and it is anticipated SCE will go on beyond the withdrawal from Germany.
It is SCE’s aim is to maintain the highest standards and continue to achieve good inspection results. Schools will remain well resourced. Continual professional development will be available and there will be opportunities for promotion and career development, albeit within a smaller number of schools.
Where there is knowledge of a school closure there will be an increasing need to consider fixed term appointments to mitigate the requirement to redeploy staff to another SCE school.
