Salary & Leave
Term‑time only plus ten additional days pay is calculated as follows:
- Number of “teaching” weeks – 38 weeks; plus
- Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days); plus
- Two additional weeks, inclusive of CPD – 2 weeks; plus
- Individual leave entitlement – 5.4 weeks (27 days) or 6.4 weeks (32 days) depending on continuous service.
Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service. Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 27 days annual leave. Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 32 days annual leave. For example:
- Employees with less than 5 years: 40 weeks (term time plus 2) + 27 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 47 weeks’ pay, paid in 12 equal monthly instalments.
- Employees with more than 5 years: 40 weeks (term time plus 2) + 32 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 48 weeks’ pay, paid in 12 equal monthly instalments.
