Basically, I had a thread here last week. I informed the secretary at school that I am taking the full year of mat leave and so going back at Christmas not September. My head of department took the hump as I hadn't told her first. I have apologised about this to her and am meeting her next week as she wants to talk about it. She has a new job so won't be my head when I go back anyway.
Today she has emailed next years' timetable and I feel I have been penalised for my decision to take the year off. Basically, I have been given set 9 in both year 10 and year 11, and no a level classes. My hod has told me if I had gone back in September I would have had a level, but as I am not she has had to gave it to someone else. I have always taught a level, ever since I was an nqt, and have always had excellent results.
As for ks4, generally it works that if you have a higher set y10 you get a lower set y11, or vice versa, just for balance, but in my case i have been given 2 set 9s. I like teaching this ability level but am just concerned about the lack of balannce (having two set 1s could be equally hard because of the increased marking, bigger class size, etc).
I realise this might be because my tt is going to be taught by supply for the first term and I am only going to be there for 2 terms before I will have a new tt, but I just feel as if innate been penalised for having a baby- . I know my jobis to teach the children i have put in front of me, and i will do so, but in my school this timetable combo would be recognised as a raw deal. I just feel as if I am going to spend the rest of my mat lEave dreading going back to work!
Can someone help me snap out of this? Aibu?
