Well it's better paid (and more qualified) than some cover supervisors I know.

It students do not have a cover supervisor every lesson.

I would be furious if my child's maths teacher only needed a C grade in maths.

This is what happens when you start to dismantle the teaching profession

Good grief. They don't even want A Level Maths, let alone a teaching qualification? I'd qualify for that job, and I definitely wouldn't be impressed if I discovered that my dc were being taught by someone with my level of Maths skills.

If this is a secondary then that is awful, if it were a school at which I had a child I would be withdrawing them.

I thought that an unqualified teacher was someone who hadn't completed a PGCE or similar. Don't they still need a degree in their subject?

It's no different to how private schools have been for years.

Jesus.
Even teaching yr 8 maths you would want someone with more depth of knowledge than a C at GCSE. That's appalling Shock

I bet a million pounds private schools don't hire maths teachers with only 4 GCSEs.

Unqualified was supposed to mean no QTS, not not enough GCSEs to get into 6th form!

No, I meant that teachers do not have to be qualified to teach in private schools and now, thanks to Gove, acadamies are going the same way.
