How much to pay someone to teach an extra curriculum class at school?

[bee74]

We are thinking of introducing some extra classes at my son's primary school and looking at things like gymnastics or choir, during school time. What is the going rate for a teacher to come in? Do you know?

Thank you

I would think it would depend on the qualification of the person running the session as well as materials and if it was a one off or every week per term, also how many children are involved and if there will be other teachers involved too... I am a teacher and have charged ?200 for a couple of hours of INSET for teachers and I know people who come into schools charge a similar price for a one off session.

I think it is between ?25 - ?30 am hour.

You could ask Dulwich Hamlet - they have a lot of after school clubs of the kind you mention.

Depends what it is, surely...

A half day "workshop" kind of thing, regular hour long slots etc. I have to say that ?25 an hour sounds very, very thin.

I know people who will do a 3 hour session for ?250- ?300. A quick browse around websites that tailor these for schools suggests that this is quite cheap.

DHJS charge parents ?5 or ?6 a 45 min / hour long session. So that would be somewhere around 75 an hour. I;m pretty sure that "cost" to parents isn't directly related to the cost of providing the class (so not necessarily a good guide)
