Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions." }, { "q": "Do staff get fee concession for their children?", "a": "Many schools offer a tuition-fee concession for the children of full-time staff, subject to admission criteria and available seats. The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation." }, { "q": "Is accommodation provided?", "a": "Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at John Firth Christian English High School?", "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities." }, { "q": "Is background verification done before joining?", "a": "Standard pre-joining checks cover qualification documents, prior employment, and reference calls. Some larger groups also do criminal-record verification." }, { "q": "Is the salary CTC or in-hand?", "a": "Most Indian schools quote annual CTC. In-hand is lower than CTC once employee PF (12% of basic, capped at ₹15,000 basic/month), professional tax and — where applicable — income tax under the new regime are deducted. Plug the offered CTC into the in-hand salary calculator at /tools/in-hand-salary-calculator for a line-by-line breakdown against this job." }, { "q": "What arrangements are there for women teachers' commute and safety?", "a": "Most reputable schools in Lakhimpur run staff transport (bus or shared cab) covering the main residential clusters, with women-first drop after evening duties.

Confirm the route map and the last drop time during the interview." }, { "q": "Is school transport available for staff?", "a": "Many schools offer staff bus service on their main routes, either free or at a nominal fee. Availability depends on whether your home is near a school route — confirm with HR." }, { "q": "How do I write an application email for this Principal role?", "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"Principal — John Firth Christian English High School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter." }, { "q": "What non-teaching duties are expected?", "a": "Beyond teaching periods you'll typically own a homeroom, run one club/activity, support exam logistics, and contribute to one school-wide initiative each term." } ] }
