Well, we broke up on Friday and now have six week of holidays. Except we <\/em>don’t!\n<\/div>\n
In a school, there are three types of contracts.\n<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    Teacher. You are employed on a full time (or part time), 52 weeks per year contract and get 13 weeks holiday.  You are not expected to work in the holidays (although to be fair some do).<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    Full time support staff. You are employed on a full time, 52 weeks per year contract and get roughly 6 – 8 weeks holiday depending on length of service. You have to work in the holidays.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    Part time support staff. You are employed on a part time, 39 weeks a year contract (term time) and technically get no holidays as you are not employed for those weeks. However staff are paid over the full year.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    The majority of non teaching staff are part time. In fact there are only 4\/5 people, including me, in my school who are full time (one person remains to be seen!).<\/p>\n

    So why is it the majority of non teaching staff are part time? Cost of course, it’s a lot cheaper to not pay people for 13 weeks a year.
    \nThe other side of the coin is why are teachers paid for 52 weeks a year? I guess it’s all down the power of the teaching unions and the lack of power and interest from the unions representing the support staff.
    \nOh well, at least I’ve got a few quiet weeks before my <\/em>hols!\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
