A number of prominent secondary schools across County Derry are in the process of appointing new principals.
St Mary's Grammar School, Magherafelt, Loreto College, Coleraine and St Cecilia's College in Derry city are currently inviting applications for the leadership toles.
Applications for a similar position at St Patrick's College, Maghera, closed on Wednesday, as they move to appoint a successor for Mrs Brenda Mussen.
