Direct employment of supply teachers by schools
Dear Torfaen Council,
Please can you tell me if any of your schools employ supply teachers directly? If so can you tell me how many were on your payroll and were paid directly in the academic year 2017/2018? What was the cost of direct employment? If you do not employ any directly, can you tell me a reason for this when the Cabinet Secretary for Education says schools have a choice whether to employ directly or to use agencies.
Yours faithfully,
Angela Sandles

Dear Angela Sandles
18/741 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST
Thank you for your email regarding the employ of supply teachers.
You have requested:
Please can you tell me if any of your schools employ supply teachers
directly? If so can you tell me how many were on your payroll and were
paid directly in the academic year 2017/2018? What was the cost of direct
employment? If you do not employ any directly, can you tell me a reason
for this when the Cabinet Secretary for Education says schools have a
choice whether to employ directly or to use agencies.
There are several ways supply teachers can be employed centrally via the
authority’s central register, by using an agency or direct through the
school. The supply teachers are paid from the schools budget and you
would be required to direct your request to the individual schools to
obtain information regarding cost. To assist you with this matter, I have
included the Schools Directory which appears on the Council’s website:
