2.  Efficiencies – SLC have a funding shortfall of £90-120 million over the next 3 years  It offers curriculum flexibility to support CfE  It offers parity across subjects in Upper School  It allows schools to aim to meet their LEGAL requirement of 120 minutes of active PE  It makes savings…..

3.  Teachers work to their McCrone contract  Current model 30 periods * 55 minutes = 1650 minutes (PUPIL) 24 periods * 55 minutes = 1320 minutes (Teacher) with 330 minutes preparation and correction time McCrone Contract is 1350 minutes + 300 minutes preparation and correction time  New model 33 periods * 50 minutes = 1650 minutes (PUPIL) 27 periods * 50 minutes = 1350 minutes + 300 minutes for preparation and correction  All teacher’s work an extra 30 minutes in class – however this is actually 3(2) periods Uddingston Grammar School

5.  Registration – means 32 periods  Day period splits eg 3,2,2; 2,3,2 etc  Length of lunchtime – currently 45 minutes  Which days are long days and which are short  The overall model we present to guardians Uddingston Grammar School

6.  33 periods = 7,7,7,7,5; 7,7,6,7,6 or combinations  32 (Reg) periods = 7,7,6,6,6 or combinations  Why does the SMT favour 32+1 ? Registration is invaluable, as are Assemblies – it also means you only prepare for 2 extra classes instead of 3 Uddingston Grammar School

7.  Go to the English rooms to discuss the issues  Report back comments to me  I will give written feedback by tomorrow  Agree our preferred model by October week to present to pupils and guardians as they MUST be fully consulted, and we may have to adapt our preference  SLC’s fallback is a 33 period 7,7,7,6,6 model.
