When calculating the length of LEA service for entitlement to sick pay, does the service have to be continuous?

No. Service is aggregated and breaks are disregarded. This principle also means that a teacher last in service between 1995 and 2000 - and with, say, five year's service during this period - who is returning to service with effect from 1 September 2007 would be entitled to the maximum sick leave entitlement of 100 days' full pay and 100 days half pay.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
