He said: “We are doing all we can to avoid redundancies but like any school we have a budget to manage.
"No decisions will be made during this consultation period.”
He added that once the consultation period is over, there will be an interview process as some staff may see a change in their roles.
Mr McPherson added: “On Wednesday last week, I had a quick meeting with all the staff. There were a lot of knee-jerk reactions but I have since met every member of staff individually and allayed a lot of their fears.”
