does calling in subs happen much anymore

raemie24

Hi guys another question, was subbing in a secondary school and was just wondering, is there much subbing around these days?:) ive just sent out a load of cv's, but I'm hoping it still happens and they call subs these days

Very little anymore. It can depend though. In most schools they have a large number of staff not on full hours who they will give any subbing to first.
Also the new S&C arrangements meaning everyone involved can be called up to 3 times a week takes care of a lot of the need for subs.

It does still happen can just depend though. Definitely nothing like it used to be 6 or 7 years ago

No subs called in in my school (large school) in the past 3-4 years. Dozens of teachers on less than 8 hours mean there's always plenty ready and waiting.

Aside from having a sub in say for a teacher that's going to be out for a long period of time (eg more than a week and principal knows it's a long term thing) we haven't had a single sub in all of this academic year for random subbing days. Everything is covered through Haddington road hours or subbing which is eligible for payment is covered by staff within the school.

To be honest I don't remember any subs coming in to cover random days last year either.

Have 1-2 in every few days. Nearly all my staff are on full hours, quite difficult finding subs to be honest

We used to constantly have subs in, some were in practically every week but now we don't have that many. If someone is out and has a cert we usually do get in a sub to cover (have been 5/6 days so far this academic year) but generally subbing needs are covered by the S&S rota or by staff on low hours.

Same here, berween 1 & 3 required most days, often difficult to get at short notice for certified absences etc.

There hasn't been an outside sub in my school at all this year or last. All cover has been done by S&S roster or by paid cover done by part time staff.

Pretty much none in ours either, between S&S and bulking up the hours of part timers that covers it more or less. The odd time alright we'd have someone in, but only a few times in the year.
