The Working Week. 2.1 The breakdown of the 35 hour working week for an un-promoted full-time teacher is as follows: (i) Maximum class contact time = 22.5 hours (18.5 hours for probationers on the Teacher Induction Scheme) (ii) Personal preparation and correction time = 7.5 hours (iii) Remaining time /collegiate activities = 5 hours Promoted teachers have a management time allowance which reduces their class contact time. Pro-rata arrangements apply to teachers who are contracted to work less than the full 35 hour working week. 2.2 Schools are required to reach agreement on the operation of the 35- hour week. This LNCT agreement provides a framework for school based planning on the use of time to meet local circumstances. 2.3 The SNCT Handbook makes it clear that all tasks which do not require the teacher to be on school premises can be carried out at a time and place of the teacher’s choosing. 2.4 Teachers intending to be out of school during the pupil day must notify their line manager. Schools should agree an efficient mechanism for this. 2.5 In exceptional circumstances, where there is concern for the health and safety and welfare of pupils, all teachers would be expected to remain on duty in order to ensure the safety of all pupils. Such exceptional circumstances would supersede paragraph 2.4.
