At our school, we were told to help the teachers at our grade level. I helped rearrange desks, change boards, photocopy. It was relaxed but I felt helpful.

I think schools have some flexibility on this which is why you’re hearing different things. At our school we had a team meeting and then time to work on training and any other projects we might have.

I'm asking because I have 2 friends who are paras at different schools who are reporting different things, I'm wondering what is the norm.

At our school, if you don't have training, you're taking personal leave.
