Are supply teachers working without a contract at a school entitled to PPA?
Supply teachers will be entitled to PPA time, however the expectation is that this would apply from the time they are required to plan, prepare and assess any lessons they are delivering as opposed to solely delivering lessons that have been pre-set, as is often associated with very short term cover. The amount of time before this takes place is not stated anywhere because each situation could be different and differences between phases will also have a bearing. A supply teacher covering a longer term absence should take the PPA time of the teacher they are replacing.
