A Little help please with some course work

[Vicki-in-luv]

Could anyone please tell me the number of weeks worked by a Head Teacher, Deputy Head Teacher, Teacher and a Teaching Assistant. It is for a piece of college course work.

In Scotland all teachers, regardless of position, are contracted to work 195 days - 190 days when the children are in attendance and 5 training days.

Classroom assistants (we don't call them teaching assistants here) also work 195 days but get paid pro-rata.

Our teaching assistants only do the 190 days but the rest are 195 too (England)

Are you asking about the number of contracted hours or the number they actually work?
Teaching Assistants in my LA work term-time only with a FTE of 32.5 hours per week but they get paid full year (ie 52 weeks). This differs from authority to authority

[Mrs_Pegasus]

A Headteacher will tell you they work every hour god sends!

All of the above work term time only which is like others have said 195 days in England - 5 days being PD/Baker Days. However, Teaching/Classroom assistants are not paid for PD days and if they are asked to attend they normally are paid additional hours.

All posts are paid pro-rota so their pay is spread over 52.14 weeks of the year.
