Teachers/parents/governors - does your primary or junior school have over 400 pupils?

If your school is a 'large' primary (>350 pupils) do you know what management time there is?

We are trying to find out whether our school is representative. We have:
c.420 pupils YR-Y6
Non-teaching Head
Two Assistant Head, each have 1 day per wk management time (on top of 0.5 PPA)
No Deputy Head

i.e. total of 7 management days per week. (I don't think that's very much given the size of the school.)

[We also have a non-teaching SENCO]

I agree cat64 to some extent. But if you have a NT DH (even if they do some cover) then they are going to see management as their priority. Whereas if you have a couple of Assistant Heads who each have an odd day for management time they will see their class as the priority, and the 'management' as an extra they just do for 7 hrs a week or whatever.

I think the HT is likely to get more support from one non-teaching DH, who does 2-3 days cover, than from two Assistant Heads with class responsibility, who have 1 day per wk management time.

Our school has approx 400 children.
Non-teaching head
2x assistant heads, both teach 0.5, so equiv 1 non-teaching assistant head.
No deputy.

That is correct - all three assistant heads do not have their own class. The Senco has her senco duties, and the foundation stage manager aims to spend some in class time in Y1 co-teaching with teachers (6 hrs/wk), though this gets eaten into if she has other management duties. This is in addition to her 2.5 hrs PPA. Other than this, I think rest of time is management time for them. Sorry not to give you more specific hours.
