Hello! I've been doing supply for a few weeks now, and the school has asked me to stay on for a longer period of time but only 3 days a week. Why would that be? Isn't it better to have continuity for the children?

2nd question: Am I entitled to ask the supply agency for a raise because I'm effectively becoming their teacher? It'll probably include more marking and planning responsibility now. I'm on £130 a day.

This is what it says about pay rate: Your pay rate for this booking is £130.00 per day which is inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay (£115.99 Basic pay + £14.01 Holiday)

I think that seems really low, but I am only an ECT. Is there any way I can negotiate this with the agency, or am I being unrealistic?

So, I was trying to come up with memorable/interesting facts about the Titanic. I came up with the fact that Violet Jessop was in 3 shipwrecks, including Titanic and the iconic 'Shut up' line from Jack Phillips, and they loved that. Anything else along those lines?

We are obviously taking it seriously and teaching it respectfully.
