Pay and conditions changes proposed by Gove

Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2527902/Schools-open-6pm-51-weeks-year-Gove-pushes-flexitime.html


"Education Secretary Michael Gove wants to give schools more powers over the working hours available to teachers as well as holidays and pay."


This was done via a submission to the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB)


He cited The David Young Community Academy in Leeds which "operates a seven-term year starting in June, with a maximum of six weeks at school followed by a maximum of four weeks’ holiday."
He also pointed out: "All ARK schools operate a longer school day: at secondary level, ARK schools are open from 8.30am-4.30pm Monday to Thursday and 8.30am-3pm on Fridays, providing 31 hours teaching per week." Also Free School Norwich.
