Ok so background is I’ve been working at a school for over 6 years in a supply capacity. It’s been fine. I’ve been the particular person they’ve chosen to teach a certain area and I’ve always had plenty of work. In fact I chose to just work with this one school because I had so much work with them that I didn’t want to work elsewhere and jeopardise that. There are e other reasons why working at this school is best but I don’t want to ‘out’ myself.
Since September I have have no work from this school whatsoever. The school has removed its ‘supply teacher’ section from its website where a photo of me was put.
So I popped into school and said a chatty hello, just to let you know that I’m available for supply. Office staff member said ‘oh we haven’t had any in your area yet’...
I’ve since found out they are now using agency staff.
This seems odd as they’d be more expensive (I was working directly with school).
Also I’ve built up relationships with children and staff and know the routines, do absolutely above and beyond what is asked of me including coming in before 8am, working late, marking to their ridiculous marking scheme and generally being available at the drop of a hat!
Can anyone think what’s gone wrong?
Be kind please, I’m really upset by this. I just saw an agency teacher leaving there today. 😢
