I'm currently on my second round of maternity leave. After my first child I gave up all my responsibilities and went back part time to "just" teaching (which was lovely!) for 2 days a week. I'm due back in September and will now have a child starting primary school. My ideal is to increase my hours slightly so that I worked 3 days a week but finished at lunchtime, I teach at a secondary school so would only miss 1 lesson after lunch. This would enable me to pick up my youngest from the childminder and still be able to pick my eldest up from school.
Has anyone ever asked for this type of flexible working!? Can anyone see how this might affect the school in a negative, or even positive way?
I have a meeting set up with the head in a few weeks and have to fill in some paperwork before then. Other than issues with the timetable and the increase in hours (though very small!) I can see any major issues for the school.
