Frequently asked question
This FAQ is for provisionally registered teachers and relates to the Flexible Route.
What should my working hours/timetable be?
The maximum you can be asked to work on FR is 22.5-hour per week of class contact. This in line with the national Scottish agreement (class contact time; the rest of the week is made up of non-contact time). As an FR provisionally registered teachers, you are not entitled to support for professional learning, but we often find that schools do accommodate where possible. In contrast with the Teacher Induction Scheme, on FR the school does not receive Scottish Government funding for support, so FR provisionally registered teachers are not guaranteed non-contact time. For schools outside of Scotland, the timetable would depend on local guidelines for the region.
