Performance-linked bonuses vary by school — some pay a one-month festive bonus, others none." }, { "q": "How big are the classes?", "a": "Section sizes typically range from 25 to 40 students. The school will confirm exact section size during the interview based on the grade you'll teach." }, { "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?", "a": "Yes.

Funded external workshops (board-specific or subject-specific) are offered to teachers in good standing." }, { "q": "What is the salary for this HOD Science role?", "a": "Refer to the salary range posted on this page.
