Requesting part time

[CrispsAndChoc]

I started a full time post in September. Am I able to request part time this year or do I need to wait until next year?

You can request but absolutely no requirement for them to say yes (that equally applies next year). Maybe depends if your department is over staffed. If they can manage without you then they'll probably be keen to save the money!

You need to ask now as they will be planning staffing. I asked after 6 months, they have agreed from Sep 18. Staffing meant they couldn’t do it before. It depends if you are primary or secondary. My school allowed me to leave at lunchtime one day a week from last September-we only have one period in the afternoon.
