PLANNING, PREPARATION AND ASSESSMENT TIME (PPA).

All teaching staff are guaranteed Planning, Preparation and Assessment time. This must be at least 10% of a teacher's timetabled teaching time. This applies to all teachers with a timetabled commitment, whether employed on permanent fixed term, temporary or part time contracts. They each have a contractual entitlement to guaranteed PPA time within the teaching day. This entitlement may be either weekly or fortnightly. The purpose of guaranteed PPA time is to enable teachers to raise standards through a combination of individual or collaborative professional activity.

PPA time has been covered by qualified High Level Teaching Assistants, supported by the class teachers, and it has proved a great success. Cover will be provided as follows:

In the Foundation Stage Mrs. Wheldale, Years 1 and 2 Ms Cornish, Years 3 and 4 Mrs. Foley, Years 5 and 6 Mrs. Wood
