Hide AdCollins has been on sick leave since September last year and Kathryn Godfrey, from Central Street Infants in Hebden Bridge, is acting executive head.
Mrs Collins was a director of the Schools Out Ltd which had run Stubbings' out-of-hours club until a council investigation recommended it be replaced with an in-house service.
Calderdale Council's head of learning services, Paul Brennan, said: "We are to make an application to the Secretary of State for approval to install an interim executive board at Stubbings School, Hebden Bridge. This application is being made with the full support of the school's governing body."
