Can they sack me for this...

Last year I started as NQT at school so on a year long contract.
I found out I was pregnant in September so worked until Easter. I am returning this coming September.
I requested to go part time after Christmas (so I could complete my NQT years as quickly as possible) and have been summoned to see the head on Thursday. Could he take away my job for asking to go part time there for looking like I'm not committed?

You've requested a change of hours; maybe he wants to give you his answer??

Up to two years they can sack you with no reason. However there may be some ground to suggest their treatment was unfair under the equality act but it would be shakey ground. Xx

No he can't sack for asking for part time hours. Unless there's a back story it's a little unusual to assume that's likely. He probably wants to talk through your request.

No backstory. Just extremely anxious.
