1 General
5.1.1 As well as the number of classes a teacher may be
timetabled to teach, the hours of work of individual teachers
are influenced by factors such as:
(a) The preparation, evaluation and assessment time that
may be generated by those classes and the students within
them or by other requirements such as
external examination prescriptions or the need to report on
the progress of individual students;
(b) The counselling and pastoral needs of students;
(c) The administrative responsibilities of individual teachers
either in respect of their curriculum or pastoral
responsibilities or in respect of the general administration of
the school; and
(d) The responsibilities of individual teachers arising from
their appointment to a Community of Schools Teacher role;
(e) The extent to which individual teachers may participate
in the extra-curricular programmes of the school.
5.1.2 For the foregoing reasons the parties to this
agreement further acknowledge and accept that the hours
of opening of schools, the structure of the timetables and
like matters are designed to meet the curriculum and
pastoral needs of students and are determined within
each school according to well-understood national
guidelines or specific legal requirements.
5.1.3 The clauses which follow identify the guidelines and
requirements upon which the decisions in individual schools
are made.
