I just typed a post and it vanished so hope this doesn't duplicate!
So, I started a new job a year ago after a year out on maternity following a temp contract.
Last job was full time at a 2.5 form entry infant school. I would start a bit before 8 and 5 would be a late finish .
Current job is 0.4 at a small village primary (mixed year group classes) and I get in at half 7 and leaving before 6 is rare. I also seem to be doing as much in the evenings and on a weekend as I did when I was full time. This is normal for my colleagues too.
What hours do other people do at school and outside in primary teaching jobs? I feel on the verge of leaving as this is not what I thought it would be and things are not getting easier as time goes by.
I do love being in the classroom actually working with the children but everything else seems ridiculous!
