After school clubs

[Pud2]

Teachers - do you get paid to do after school clubs?

Our school stopped the teachers clubs and instead invited a local business to come in and supply 4 clubs at a reduced rate if we gave them the hall for free. He usually charges around £5.00 per session and instead is charging £2.50. It's cheaper than after school childcare though.

Thank you for giving up your time teachers!
My yr3 son goes to tennis and multi sports after school. We pay for the former as he comes into school just for that, the latter is free but is run by a chap who just does PE, but not on the teaching staff. I guess he's employed by the school.
XC Club is during lunch hour and run by one of the office staff and a couple of TAs I think. Maybe one teacher as well.
The biggest pain in the arse is drum lessons which is a private teacher who asks for payment each week rather than in advance. I don't know if he's new to it, but am pretty sure he'll soon be fed up chasing people!

Not a teacher but my DS's school hire in people to run clubs. The football one is chargeable but the rest aren't..

School staff of any sort should not be given a free school meal, unless of course all staff are given one. Otherwise it becomes an item you should declare for tax purposes! Mad but true.

Yes. As its out of hours. However I didn't in my previous school. Both secondary.

Primary teacher in Scotland here, and like previous posters have said, no we don't get paid.

However, when I first started doing an after-school club, about 15 years ago, I was paid, £10-ish per hour, worked out at an extra £50 per month. We were paid from the 'supervised study' budget I believe.

It's 'expected', though not enforced, that all teachers in my school will contribute to running either a lunchtime or after-school club.

I'm a parent and pay £3.50 per hour for various after school clubs. Mostly they are run by TAs but a few are run by teachers. I think this is very cheap for the wonderful care and opportunities the DC get.

I suppose I never thought too much about who gets paid what. I sort of assumed the TAs got paid by the hour and that as the teachers that do clubs work pt it was part of their contract?

I would be upset if staff felt obliged to do clubs.

I do get slightly miffed when a teacher suggests a DC join a club with no realisation that the money might not be there to pay for it!

I happily suggest joining clubs. The vast majority of ours are free.

Teacher run clubs at our DCs school are free. One DD attends a couple after school (and a paid one) and the other DD a couple at lunchtime.

I'm surprised teachers still run them, given how overworked they are. The same pressure as on other professions to give more, more, more :(

It's a really mixed area financially Doctordonna, none of the clubs are free. If a teacher says to a parent in front of the child " x is amazing at singing, I'd love him to join singing club" it puts pressure on the parent to pay money they don't have. The money has to be paid in a lump sum on the first week of term. I can see this would be totally different if the club was free.
