Teacher Workload Calculator
Real weekly hours once marking, planning and admin are counted, against the contracted week — and what that comes to across a full year.
Eight classes with 22 timetabled lessons, an hour of marking a class and 20 hours of planning comes to 42.3 hours a week and about 1,651 hours a year — with marking alone at eight hours.
