 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had an excellent experience with 4myschools. The team are professional, friendly, supportive and very easy to communicate with. The registration process was straightforward, and communication regarding bookings has always been clear and efficient. The app is particularly useful and makes it very easy to view and manage bookings and availability. I have also been impressed by how responsive and approachable the team are whenever I have a question. I would happily recommend 4myschools to anyone looking for work within schools. A professional, well-organised and supportive agency that has been a pleasure to work with. Awan

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used 4My Schools extensively during the last academic year, including Paul sourcing us two amazing long term supply teachers. The response time to an email is super fast (even at weekends!) and Paul couldn't be more accommodating and helpful. We hopefully won't need to use them as much next year but we know we can always rely on them to provide  good quality supply if the need arises.

Can an ECT extend the supply teaching time limit?

This is a fixed time limit with no discretion to extend it. Short-term supply placements of less than one term, or equivalent, cannot count towards induction, as such posts will not provide an ECT with the breadth of experience, support, and assessment necessary to enable them to demonstrate that their performance against the Teachers’ Standards is satisfactory.

Does supply teaching count towards an ECT Induction Period?

Short-term supply placements of less than one term, or equivalent, cannot count towards induction.

The length of the induction period an ECT is required to serve, whether the teaching post in which they are doing so is part-time or full-time, is the full-time equivalent of two school years. This usually consists of six school terms, divided into two periods each consisting of three school terms.

Can an ECT induction period be reduced?

In some exceptional circumstances, the length of an induction period may be reduced for part-time teachers or those with previous teaching experience agreed by the appropriate body

Who ensures an ECT is eligible to carry out supply teaching?

The headteacher/principal or supply agency is responsible for ensuring that a teacher who has not satisfactorily completed an induction period is eligible to carry out short-term supply work.
