This session provides an overview of the allocations process, how the allocation is arrived at for your school, completing returns for the DE and examples of eligibility for CIDs. Individual consultations with JMB staff will take place after the seminar as required. We are delighted and very appreciative that Mr Gabriel Martin, Department of Education, with overall responsibility for allocations will attend and speak at each seminar. This session is primarily aimed at principals, however deputy principal’s or those involved in timetabling are also welcome.
