The following condition applies to PPA Cover and ASC and if you are an organisation:

10.1 You will have a member of your staff present at the end of all sessions to ensure that all children attending the session are collected by their parent or guardian.

10.2 PPA Cover Times : AM Cover length is a maximum of 3hours in length (excludes break). PM Cover session time is a maximum of 2hours 30mins in length. Full day cover is a maximum of 5hours 30min in length shared across the AM and PM as you wish, however staff must receive 1hour in breaks throughout the day. Lunch and After school clubs must be booked outside of PPA cover times. Any time outside of these will be charged at £0.67 per min per staff member and at £0.78 per min per staff member in Greater London and the South East.

10.3 REPORTING & ASSESSING : This is an optional extra we offer for an additional fee. Registers must be supplied in Excel format, electronically to the Junior Jam office in advance of the half term beginning for us to ensure grades are given. Failure to do so will mean you may not receive the grade but are still charged. If your class registers change you must update the Junior Jam office with a revised Excel spreadsheet 2 weeks before the end of the half term for those changes to be actioned. If you are unhappy with the reporting and assessing supplied by Junior Jam or you notice a class or students are missing or inaccuracies; you must report this to the Junior Jam office within 14days of that half term ending. Failure to report to us in this timeframe will mean we are unable to amend the reporting and assessing. If the Junior Jam office agrees the reporting is inaccurate or has not been completed, we will credit or refund the reporting and assessing fee for that staff member, proportionally for that class(es) for that half term. If Junior Jam are unable to provide reporting and assessing due to staff absence, we will refund or credit the proportional amount of reporting and assessing fees for that half term. Our reporting fees assume we will see the same classes each week, if within a half term you alternate classes so that our reporting and assesses increases you will be billed additionally for this.

We delete R&A data on 1st Nov for the previous academic year, this is to allow next year’s teachers the opportunity to review the data in Autumn 1. EG: academic year Sept 2023 to July 2024 R&A, will delete on Nov 1st 2024.

If you do not take out the Reporting & Assessing option you may provide the staff member time within their contracted PPA hours to give the students a grade for within their lessons. However, Junior Jam are not responsible for overseeing this or ensuring its completion. This time cannot be during break, during their lunch time or after school.

10.4 PLANNING MATERIAL : Junior Jam will give you online access to view our planning material whilst you are a customer of Junior Jam, you must not electronically share our planning with anyone who is not a member of staff at your organisation unless they are part of OFSTED . Once the contacted is finished your login will be revoked. Junior Jam own the copyright of their planning material and reserve all rights. Upon not being a Junior Jam customer you must delete any electronic copies of our planning, printed copies may be retained.

10.5 PPA COVER SERVICE : We will supply 1 staff member per subject which is outlined on your Order Confirmation. Each staff member can work with 1 class at any given time, we are happy to work with multiple classes throughout the day. However, we will require a timetable outlining which classes we see when. Our maximum class size is 30 students. OFSTED regulation must be adhered to regarding staffing ratios which may mean you may need to supply additional staffing. We recommend if a class has a TA with the usual class teacher, that TA be within our lesson. If a child has a 1 to 1 support, they must be in any Junior Jam lesson with that child. Junior Jam are able to work with Reception upwards, our lessons are not suitable for Nursery aged children. Our lessons are suitable for mainstream schooling, if you have a class(es) with SEND needs please raise this at the time of booking so we are consider if our service is suitable. Our service is "PPA Cover" which we see as live teaching within a school setting. Our lessons must not be recorded or shared without prior written consent from our office. We may consider live streamed webinars if students are unable to access school, however this must not be recorded and the filming, platform and safeguarding must be facilitated by the school - this must be agreed with the Junior Jam office in writing. As part of your school online portal we supply an Upload and a DeepDive section. These are a free extras and therefore if we are unable to complete these online sections, but deliver the PPA Cover lessons our contract is fulfilled. If we are working with a mixed year class, we will always work to the lower level as prescribed on the planning email or Junior Jam School Portal for the mix class.

NAME CLASSES & MIXED CLASSES:
On your school portal we request you name the classes in your school in advance of our first session so we can accurately monitor and progress the classes. Within this section if you have a mixed class, please put that class on the year groups programme you wish them to follow. EG if you have a Y3/Y4 mixed class, if you want them to follow the Y4 programme as detailed on your planning email - on Name Classes input them as Y4. Each lesson taught can only cover a single programme, as detailed in our planning - we can not combine programmes for mixed classes. If you do not name a mixed class, we will work to the lower level as prescribed on the planning email or Junior Jam School Portal for the mix class. EG if our planning say Y3 = L1 and Y4 = L2 and its a Y3/4 mix we will cover L1.

 

10.6 PPA ROTATIONS: If you require our staff to move classrooms between lessons and the students to remain in the same classroom, you must ensure someone is in the room to supervise the children whilst our staff member moves. If you instruct us to move and the class in left unsupervised, this is not our liability as we are following your instruction. If you have booked SMART PPA Cover and the children can move spaces, our staff will manage the rotation (unless advised otherwise).

11. STAFF ISSUES

If the member of staff allocated to you becomes unavailable or they are no longer able to attend Junior Jam will endeavour to provide like for like cover. If like for like cover is not available we may provide another a different subject, however you will have the option to refuse it and be credited for the cancellation. If cover is sent you will receive a change of instructor email detailing the cover staff member and DBS details. If a Junior Jam staff member is unable to attend and no cover is available you agree to give us 3 teaching weeks to replace them, any time we do not teach will be credited. If this is part of SMART PPA the rest of the staff will still attend as normal.

The staff member detailed on the activity schedule is correct at the time the order confirmation is printed. Each half term you will receive an email that will state the staff attending. If email addressing and contacts change you must email admin@juniorjam.co.uk with the updated email addresses.

12. CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT

13. LOSS OR DAMAGE OF OUR EQUIPMENT

If you or those for whom you are responsible cause any breakage, loss or damage to any of our equipment or the premises we control you will make good that loss in full within 7 days of receiving an invoice from us for the amount due.

14. DBS & ID CHECKS

We warrant that all persons working directly with children and aged over 16 have undergone an Enhanced DBS check. Junior Jam renew these at least every 3 years. You may not cancel any session because our policy on this issue does not comply with yours.

15. STAFF

If within 12 months of conducting a session, you or the Academy Trust you belong to, choose to offer any person who conducts that session for us, a permanent or temporary position or any freelance work, you will pay us a fee of £5,000 plus VAT as a commission for introducing that person to you. This fee increase to £7,000 plus VAT if the organisation venue we teach at is based within Greater London, Essex or South East (area as described on our website for pricing and pays the weighted rate). The fee is payable per member of staff. The fee is payable based on who the original contract(s) is with. It is your responsibility to inform us of any appointment within 14days of the candidate accepting the position. Failure to do so will mean there is an additional 30% added to the recruitment fee.

The staff member detailed on the activity schedule is correct at the time the order confirmation is printed. Each half term you will receive an email that will state the staff attending, this email will go to the contact who the order confirmation is addressed to and the main school email address we hold on file. If the email addresses and/or contacts change you must email admin@juniorjam.co.uk with the updated contact details.

If parking is difficult or not available within 15 minutes of the agreed start of any session, we may treat you as having cancelled that session. If the instructor is forced to pay any parking fees you must reimburse the instructor that same day if they present you the pay and display ticket or reimburse Junior Jam if we invoice you for the cost of parking.
