Standard term time only pay is calculated as follows: - Number of ‘teaching’ weeks – 38 weeks; - Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days); - Individual leave entitlement - 5.4 weeks (27 days) or 6.4 weeks (32 days).

Individual leave entitlement is calculated based on the length of continuous service. Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 27 days annual leave, while those with more than 5 years’ service will receive 32 days annual leave.

Example Calculations: - Employees with less than 5 years’ service: 38 weeks (term time) + 27 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 45 weeks’ pay, paid in 12 equal monthly instalments. - Employees with more than 5 years’ service: 38 weeks (term time) + 32 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 46 weeks’ pay, paid in 12 equal monthly instalments.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. If successful, you will need to apply for an enhanced DBS disclosure.

As a disability confident employer, we are committed to employing disabled people and making reasonable adjustments to support disabled applicants when required.
