So I'm due to start supply, I've worked on contract in a primary school for the last three years. I've seen a really interesting job running 'film clubs' in greater manchester schools which is a fixed term three year contract. I'm more than ready to move away from teaching but in three years time I'd be back on the jobs market looking to get back into teaching. Because I'm based in a smaller Northern city with high
(ish) umemployment the competition for jobs is fierce and the range of jobs available is more limited than say London. I'd have to go into supply but would supply agencies be interested in me if I'd been out of the classroom so long. Needless to say I haven't got the job yet but know that DH will try to persuade me not to go for it due to the difficulty of getting back into teaching afterwards. Not to mention that I'd spend two days a week in London for the first month and he works shifts so I do the bulk of the breakfast club/ after school club runs. So after that long ramble just wanted to know anyone successfully got back to classroom teaching after a break.
