INSET/ Non-contact days for teachers:
Over a school year, pupils are required to attend for 190 days/380 sessions. In total, teachers may be required to be available for
work on up to 195 days, with the additional days specified by individual schools as non-contact days. Schools may also require
teachers to work additional hours before or after school sessions, as an alternative to full non-contact days, provided that any
teacher is not required to work in aggregate more than 1,265 hours during a school year. Schools may therefore choose to require
teachers to make up the full equivalent of the 5 non-contact days wholly through additional hours or use a mixture of additional
hours and non-contact days.
