Recently I counted up exactly how many kids I was responsible for teaching in my NQT year. Once I had doubled my year 9s because I swap groups each term, I came up with figure of 450 (which includes my tutor group) I think that this is too much.
It also equates to 18 classes + my tutor group. 18 markbooks, 18 seating plans, 18 sets of tracking & reports.
3 of my Y10 groups are shared with other teachers. If they weren’t shared that would mean 3 less classes for me.
Y11 2x1hr per week
Y10 1x3hrs 2×2 hrs 2x1hr
Y9 4×1 hr
Y8 2×1
Y7 1×1
[PS this never got posted last november its been sitting in drafts for months]
