The Director of the Education and Public Health Department has been tasked with working with the school's staff during the transition process and advertising the new position of headteacher.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The proposal for Engidal School's independence was put forward on the grounds that there is no cost-effectiveness in operating a primary school with one large unit and another smaller one. It is estimated that the cost of implementing the proposal will be negligible. Initially, Engidal School will be a primary school for years 1 to 6, and year 7 pupils will attend V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0ask\u00f3li. The youth clubs for V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0ask\u00f3li and Engidalssk\u00f3li will continue to be run together at V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0ask\u00f3li, but the after-school clubs will be run separately, as is the case at present. In the future, it is planned that Engidalssk\u00f3li will become a primary school for years 1\u20137, run in the same building as the \u00c1lfaberg nursery school, as the current plan provides for. It is projected that from autumn 2020, there will be around 200 pupils at the school.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The post of Headteacher at Engidal School has been advertised and the application deadline is 15 March. We are seeking a leader with a progressive vision to lead an ambitious and professional school, in partnership with pupils, staff and parents. The headteacher's responsibilities will include developing the school's work, leading collaboration among all stakeholders, and successfully managing the transition to Engidal School's new independence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/radningar.hafnarfjordur.is\/rcf3\/viewjobonweb.aspx?jobid=FRS20025\">All information about the headteacher position can be found here.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B\u00e6jarstj\u00f3rn Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar sta\u00f0festi \u00e1 fundi s\u00ednum \u00feann 19. febr\u00faar sl. sam\u00feykkt fr\u00e6\u00f0slur\u00e1\u00f0s Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar fr\u00e1 fundi r\u00e1\u00f0sins \u00feann 12. febr\u00faar sl. um a\u00f0 gera Engidalssk\u00f3la a\u00f0 sj\u00e1lfst\u00e6\u00f0um grunnsk\u00f3la fr\u00e1 og me\u00f0 haustinu 2020.
