Our teaching posts are usually advertised as soon as we know they are going to become vacant. They are advertised with a two week closing date and then shortlisting and pre-emp checks progress. I am unable to provide exact details of how long they are therefore unfilled as this varies so therefore we give notice under s17 of FOI(S)A 2002 and declare that the information is not held. 16
