Do schools usually set work for supply teachers? Most of the time this is the case but not always. Most teachers plan well in advance and if the need for supply has been anticipated it is normal for a school to provide a visiting teacher with a plan for the day. If a supply teacher has to be called in at short notice it is unlikely that a specific lesson will have been prepared for them in advance, though in this instance it should still be easy to establish the curriculum area that the class is currently studying from the absent teachers plans. Try and give yourself as much time to prepare as possible. There are a large number of resources and downloadable lesson plans available on TeacherNet in case of emergencies: http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/teachingandlearning/resourcematerials/Resources/
Other subject specific sites feature downloadable resources and lesson plans too, such as http://www.teachit.co.uk for English.
