school’s timetabled teaching week for a full time teacher would be calculated as 25 hours. If a part-time teacher were employed for mornings only working 9.00am to 12.15pm every day their percentage of the timetabled teaching week would be calculated as 15 hours. The detailed calculations are shown in the table below: Morning session (less breaks, registration, assembly) + Afternoon session (less breaks, registration, assembly) x No. of days in timetable (i.e. 5 or 10 days) = School’s timetabled teaching week (STTW) % of STTW Full-time 3 hours + 2 hours x 5 days = 25 hours 100% Part-time 3 hours + x 5 days = 15 hours 60% In a case where the school day, excluding registration and assembly, runs from 9.00am to 12.00pm and again from 1.00pm to 3.30pm with one 15 minute break in the morning session and one 15 minute break in the afternoon session the school’s timetabled teaching week would be calculated as 25 hours. If a part-time teacher were employed for mornings only working 9.00am to 12.00pm every day their percentage of the school’s timetabled teaching week would be calculated as 13.75 hours. The detailed calculations are shown in the table below: Morning session (less breaks, registration, assembly) + Afternoon session (less breaks, registration, assembly) x No of days in timetable (i.e. 5 or 10 days) = School’s timetabled teaching week (STTW) % of STTW Full-time 2.75 + 2.25 hours x 5 days = 25 hours 100% Part-time 2.75 hours + x 5 days = 13.75 hours 55% The relevant body should establish the proportion of the school’s timetabled teaching week for each part-time teacher as a percentage of a full-time classroom teacher’s school’s timetabled teaching week using the same method of calculation as above.
