Do you know what kind of school this was? A National School, a
British
School, a private school, a public school ... ? Whereabouts? I think there
would have been a difference between them in who did the appointing. Also
the size of the school would affect the situation since there might only
have been one teacher in the school so therefore the headmaster! 1840s is
before the Education Acts later on in that century which set up such
things as Boards.

PS I wasn't sure when British Schools started so have just looked at quite
an useful entry on Wikipedia
