The reason I’m confused is because my holiday allowance will also reduce proportionally, but surely if I’m working 1 less day a week, I’ll be better able to cover the school holidays? Hoping someone can help me work this out…thanks.

Hello @yoppee This kind of question is coming up a lot at the moment so you're definitely not alone in trying to figure out how work patterns fit around school holidays. We’ve got a couple of threads running in partnership with the Department for Education that might be worth a look. There’s a Q&A with an experienced Early Years teacher answering questions, and another where lots of parents are sharing how they’re managing things like holiday cover and flexible working.
Might be helpful to have a read or post there too as we can see lots of posters in the same boat.
