Supervision Direct Grant

The DES will provide funding for the provision of supervision in primary schools on the basis of 37 hours per annum per full-time teaching post.

The number of teaching posts used to determine the category of payment is the total number of full-time teaching posts allocated to a school by the Department on 30 September in a school year. Where there is a shared teaching post, this post is counted in the base school when calculating entitlement to supervision allocation.

The annual supervision grant for the 2010/2011 school year is €1,769.

Direct grants are as follows:

• 1 Teacher School  –  €4,705
• 2 Teacher School  –  €2,657 (where teacher is not in receipt of the 2nd teacher allowance) 
• 2 Teacher School  –  €1,107 (where teacher is in receipt of 2nd teacher allowance)
• 3 Teacher School  –  €609

Where an external supervisor is employed where teachers have opted out of supervision, the grant per teacher is €2,048.

The above figures are inclusive of a 5% administration fee and 10.75% PRSI (Employer's contribution).
