Can anyone talk me through this? What do I need to be doing?

When I did this, they made it as hard as possible for me (It was UPS2), as they were insinuating it could only really be achieved through full-time, whole-school actions. I was English and PE lead at the time (very small primary school) and coached the netball club. I had to show that my actions impacted the whole school and were substantial.
One other thing I will say though, I was part-time as i was in the middle of having my family. I then left to spend 2 years at home, and when I went for other jobs, not one was willing to pay me any more than M6. The lack of pay portability now is a scandal that no-one seems to talk about. To be honest now, rather than do tins of extra work for UPS, I'd be tempted to just do a couple of hours a week tutoring instead.

@CeciliaMars that's actually a good idea! I might look at the tutoring

You can totally go through threshold when part time. I was 0.6 when I went to UPS. I was subject lead (large primary) so had lots of evidence of whole school impact. I’m 0.8 now in a different school and have just moved to UPS3.
