Part time working and INSET days

[DuploRelatedInjury]

Hopefully someone knowledgeable will be able to help - I've been asking at work for months with no definitive answer.

I work 2 days a week, term time only, in an admin position. I've been told both that I should have to only do 2 of 5 INSET days by one person and also that I should do 2 of 5 plus any that fall in my regular working days by someone else, which would mean 3 days in my case. Except this doesn't make sense purely because it doesn't work in reverse for the person I job share with - by those terms she'd have to work the 4 that fall on her working days, plus 3 more except there aren't another 3 for her to work.

Surely either I work 2 of 5 INSET days (as I work 2/5 normally) or I only work the ones that fall on my normal working days? That's the only way that the same terms could apply to my colleague.

Anyone able to shed any light?

Fellow school admin here! I believe you should only work as many INSET days as you are contracted for per week, as your contract will be for 39 weeks per year, one week (5 working days) of which is made up of INSET days. If you do a job share I guess you and your colleague would negotiate between you who would work on each of the 5 days, with you working 2 and her on 3.
That’s how it works in our school anyway!

Well my colleague who works 4 days does 4 of the 5 inset days. I have to do all of them as I work 5 days. So I assumed it prorated on the number of days you work. Her day off is never an inset day so she always gets to miss one.

No one can tell you without seeing what your contract says, or any relevant policy.
