Teacher furlough on 80% large independent school - advice needed

26 replies

I’m a teacher in a large independent secondary school. I’ve been told today I’ll be furloughed on 80% of my earnings. They’re not topping up.
I haven’t yet had my official letter so don’t yet know if I’ll also be losing our school allowance (extra allowance per year for doing extra curricular activities).
Is furloughing done in consulation or are you just furloughed?
Is there anything anyone recommends I clarify with the school.
I haven’t had time to bring home anything I own from school and my school email is used for a lot of school related things e.g. organisations I belong to, I presume I will have no access to my school email from Monday.
In your experience, if you have it, are independent schools topping up?
Thanks

Some teachers at DC's indie school have been furloughed and we were all told quite certainly not to email any of them via email as they strictly couldn't be doing any work. I'm sure they have access to their email though (which is why I assume we're not meant to email as they may feel obliged to reply).
