Are there guidelines governors need to follow when deciding on a new head? Our school has had a 'will they/won't they retire' head, and has now decided to have the old head p/t with the deputy. I don't know if they considered any external candidates or even advertised it. Can they do that? Is there an obligation to investigate candidates and appoint the best person?
If there is a procedure they have to follow I would like confirmation that they have followed it. There was nothing in the letter about 'having considered other candidates and interviewing we decided that X and Y's experience blah blah'. Just that was what was happening. If anyone can tell me if there are best practice guidelines I'd be v grateful.
It feels like a missed opportunity to me. But if they can do what they like then I'll just shut up! Thanks
