The agreed figure is gross and is subject to PAYE, NI and any other stoppages or benefits due. Salaries are paid monthly in arrears on or about the 28th day of each month into your bank account.

Holiday

This is an opportunity for employees to express their wishes for future professional development, as well as for the School to express its view of the employee’s progress and its proposals for employee development.

Training

Staff are expected to co-operate with plans for development professional training, paid for by the School. Any such requirement will either become clear as a result of the annual appraisal or at the request of the Employee.

The position will be offered subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS disclosure.
