I'm considering applying to go back to uni to do the PGDE (my long term goal is educational psychology and I've heard teaching is good experience for this). However I was just wondering if anyone has any experience of working part time, like 3 day weeks as a NQT? I'd be able to do full time for the course and probation year but is it possible to cut the hours down immediately after qualifying? This would allow me to get some other relevant experience and spend time with my young daughter as my partner also works full time so it just makes sense for us as a family to keep childcare costs down and avoid relying on other family members extensively. Has anyone does this or similar before?
