Lunchtime - you are entitled to one!
1.A teacher cannot be required to undertake midday supervision and “shall be allowed a break of reasonable length either between school sessions or between the hours of 12 noon and 2.00 p.m.”. Paragraph 75.6 of Section 2 of the 2005 STPCD refers. Any teacher who volunteers to undertake mid-day supervision is entitled to a free school lunch.
2.Head teachers, deputy head teachers, assistant head teachers, advanced skills and fast track teachers are also entitled to a break of reasonable length, but the STPCD is silent on the issue of whether such staff can be required to undertake midday supervision. NUT policy is that midday supervision should be undertaken by lunchtime supervisors.
3.The NUT’s view of the “break of reasonable length” is that teachers should have an entitlement of at least one hour when they cannot be required to undertake duties, attend meetings or remain on school premises. The lunch break cannot be included in the 1265 hours of directed time.
4.NUT members are strongly advised not to attend meetings convened by management during their lunch break.
