Pay is a bit different depending on supply teaching or if you get paid by the school. Basically, if you are paid by the school as OTT expect £26,000 ish if you have 3-5 years and the school is prepared to recognise you as qualified (most do if you get the right agency to push it for you - good ones will). Supply pays a bit more BUT you you tend not to get treated the same way by the school - ie you are seen as temporary, and you are only paid the days you work.

In your opinion, is Blue Wave one of those agencies?

It is in my opinion, anyone else with a view?

Its free for teachers to join the agency, but do teachers find that they lose any of their pay at the other end? Im not sure how it works and I plan to ask. Just wanetd to know if agencies recoup money from teachers by getting a percentage of their wages somehow? Ive heard stories about that.

As far as I know, agencies will be paid by the school and a teachers pay is unaffected. I have never heard of a teacher's pay being used for recruitment; this would seem unfair and I for one am glad it usually doesn't happen.
