I was a governor at a local primary school and have seen applications rejected by the head for lots of silly reasons the most memorable being for a deputy head -
Applicant from Kent - not willing to pay for travelling & accomodation expenses!
Another applicant had taken a year off work to care for a terminally ill relative - deemed as being out of touch and unreliable!
Staff member who applied for the position and was actually acting deputy head - has only ever worked at one school and needs to expand her horizons!

I'm sure that this is not the case in all schools but it obviously does happen in some.
