Abstract
ABSTRACT Barsetshire is a pseudonym for an English county. In the county there are a large number of Church Aided Schools. This paper investigates the appointment of headteachers to posts in the county's primary schools. The presence of the Aided Schools may have the unintended effect of reducing the field of applicants for headteacher posts in large County schools. Evidence was obtained from the county's official lists, advertisements for headteacher posts and person specifications prepared by selection committees. It was found that Aided Schools in the county tended to have smaller rolls than County or Controlled schools. Governors of larger schools were seeking to appoint people with previous school management experience. In Barsetshire this was most likely to have been obtained by having being a headteacher in a smaller Aided School.
