Do the admissions staff in schools work over the Easter holidays at all?

Just that really. Do the admissions team in school work in the office over Easter? I’m presuming the LA ones do but wasn’t sure about the in school staff. Thanks

Probably depends on the school/college. I will be - this is my busiest time of year! (I work in a post16 SEN college)

Thanks @Has2sons. I hope it’s not too hideous for you.

@1busybee I love it!

Schools don't have an 'admissions team' as a rule.
If teachers go in, they go in to get stuff done, they won't be answering the office phone, if that is what you are asking ?

@BackforGood most largish secondaries have someone in charge of admissions within their admin team and it was those people I was referring to.

Lots of school admin staff have contracts that are term times +5 or 10 days a year, so they may do a couple of days each holiday but that may be it.

Our admissions officer is term time only, I imagine most are the same. Schools can't afford to have support staff full year (other than business manager/network manager/site manager etc).

Secondary admissions here and NOPE!!!! By Christ I need the break zzzzzzzzz

And yes I’m part of the office / support staff. Admissions are my responsibility. All staff are off and no phones answered for 2 weeks.

At the school where I worked, no-one would have been paid to be in answering the phone over Easter, but an urgent email would get picked up.

Our admissions officer, as above, term time plus two which is worked at summer results time.

Easter will be very much needed time off.

I'm term time plus 2 weeks but I work those in August at results time. No one will be in over Easter.

The Council admissions teams is closed over Easter as is our schools.

Even though we run out own admissions the Council will administer it this time of year. The schools are closed to all.

Only Covid calls will be responded to over the holidays here.
