How much do schools pay for Supply teaching

teacher2mum

Hi there I currently supply teach in Cheshire and also run my own tutoring company. I have been asked by 1 0r 2 schools to be their resident supply teacher and because I have my own company I can invoice them direct. The supply agency I use is not used by these schools. Does anyone out there know how much these agencies charge the schools before they take my cut. My prediction is that I only get 2/3 rds of the fee. Obviously the agencies have to earn a living like I do from my tutoring. However, i want to be slightly cheaper than these big fish and i only take minimal amount from my tutors for basic admin etc. I know my old school used to pay £185-£205 a day to the agency but this was inner London NOT cheshire. Many Thanks in advance!;)

It depends where you are on the main pay scale.

If they already want you why do you want to be cheaper?

someone's brave... When I was art school (I'm 19 now), I NEVER EVER EVER saw a supply teacher twice. Nearly all would cry at some point and storm out just because they couldn't hack it (to be fair it's hard to control the people at my old school lol). I'm surprised word hasn't got around in my area, supplies still go there lol.

Good luck though. £185-£205 is a lot for 1 person a day. (Unless it is private) governments need to stop giving school's such much money.

I run a tutoring agency in yorkshire. I have a high school as a big client and charge them £22 an hour and pay my tutors £17 an hour. I only send my best tutors and they have recommended me. They tend to use tutors for 1:1 with vulnerable kids rather than class teaching.

How do you manage to do that? Or do you not actually employ, just source the turtors?

I earn around £150 per day on supply.

I've been a supply teacher in Edinburgh for 4 years and I have to say that suited my very well. I qualified in London and my first full time post in a Hillingdon school was horrific in terms of stress levels. As a supply teacher I could enjoy leaving school at 3:30 with the rest of the day to spend with my wee boy and no worries for the next day. The only downside is not always being guaranteed work. You should also think about what's included in your pay - holiday, pension etc. are included in Edinburgh as a supply teacher

Yes I just source all the tutors, all self employed. Saves me getting involved in employment law.

Given your terrible spelling and grammar clearly they need to give more.

I think it is about £150 for teacher and £30 -£40 for agency. If you are self employed you do not need to charge the agency fee.
