I work in the admin team at a pupil referral unit. Tbh, the workload itself isnt that bad compared to mainstream, but we do have to deal with extreme behavior and harrowing stories. Every child who comes through our door has a very sad background.
Anyway, it's recognised that this can take its toll on staff and various wellbeing events are arranged and fitness etc.is encouraged.
I get a 30 min lunch break which I usually have at my desk (bad!) but there's not really much else to do in 30 mins.
At my gym, a 10 min drive away, twice a week they have a 30 min lunchtime class I'd like to do. It's a yoga/stretch type class so I reckon I could get away without a shower and be back in an hour. Would it be unreasonable to ask if I can do this twice a week on the basis that the other 3 days I just have a quick 10 mins to eat at my desk?
