Inset days (used to be called Baker days) are official training days. I expect to
be training during my working hours. I do not see why teachers should be expected to be trained during their own holidays.[/quote]
Sherwood - it's been said that when the children are on holiday, the teachers are contracted to work. If so, that's not your own holidays, that's working time. Why can't the INSET/Baker/shopping (whatever you want to call them) days be taken then?
