Do teachers get paid for running revision sessions in the school holiday?

As the subject says.....just wondering.
Obviously I hope they do, but you hear so much about teachers working so much during school holidays that I wonder where the line is.

While I'm here, thanks to the teachers who are running them; DS2 really benefits.

No, got paid nothing above salary for any extra hours.

Nope.

Not in recent years

Doing two this week (secondary teacher, independent school). We have been told that we have to do them, with no extra pay offered (and not much thanks either!). You could in theory refuse, but it’s hard when all other departments are doing them. I am a HoD, so I tend to do ours so my department colleagues don’t have to come in as well.

At my current school, no.
At my old school, we all had to run them, but you only got paid if you were a maths or English teacher.

Yes and No.
It depends on the school, HT etc.
Some schools will pay teachers for these, others coerce staff into it.
