1265 hours a year, or 105.5 hours a month.

Expressed differently that's almost 34 weeks of your typical 7.5 hour day equivalent. 18 weeks (90 days) non working time short of 52 weeks, as opposed to typically 28 days short (including Bank Holidays) for your regular worker.

Keep going, your making my case for me.

I appreciate that teachers will work beyond contracted hours, as do many employees in different industries.
...and my comment re governors was directed at you, just to remind you that you’re not the only one with experience of being a school governor.

Not sure how I can be making your point for you. Your claim that teachers (other than those in the Public/Private sector) have 16+ hours of holiday per year was simply wrong and an attempt to mislead.

You seem to be confusing non ‘directed’ time with ‘non working’ time. It’s a common mistake amongst bean counters.
