I think I've lost sight a little since moving into the independent sector.
SMT, so take home more work, but:
School day 8-5
Meetings or prep for one hour after 2/3 days
Saturday school 9-1
But
17 weeks holiday
Take work home every day, usually 3-4 hours per day. Work all Saturday afternoon, only 3 ish hours on Sundays.
This works out at about 80 hours per week, but for only 35 weeks a year. I probably do part time hours for about half of each holidays, so about 30 hours per week for 8 of the holidays weeks.
80 x 35 = 2800 term time hours
30 x 8 = 240 holiday hours
So, 3040 hours (give or take, fairly conservatively) per year, which is 58.5 hours per calendar week averaged.
Is this normal? Is this the same in the state sector? Or other private schools? It just seems too much. I can't do this until I'm 68!
