All staff are entitled to opt-out of the pension scheme should they wish to do so.
Holiday
We recognise the importance of a good work-life balance and provide generous holiday entitlements. Support staff are entitled to between 24-26 days rising to 27-29 days after 5 years’ service, (dependent on grade and pro rata for part-time staff). This will increase by one day from 1st September 2023. This entitlement is in addition to any Bank or Public holidays. If you work term time only, your holiday entitlement will be a minimum of 5.6 weeks, to be taken during school closure periods. Teaching staff receive the standard school holiday allowance.
