Teacher Mat Leave KIT Days
Show your support
I think you can do 10 kid days within your pairs maternity leave. It should be in the website ( gov) It may be different than me as I’m self employed but it’s what it says in my maternity allowance notes xx
You don’t need to go back in summer just put your first day back as the first day of summer holidays. Yes you’ll get paid for your KIT days in July as it will be before school holidays. Does anyone know how far in advance the kit days need to be arranged? Cx
Hiya, my understanding is as above - KIT days can be taken at any point during your mat leave (other than the first two compulsory mat weeks) I believe, though don't quote me! how far in advance they are is down to the discretion of the HT or policies in place. You don't need to return to work before the summer holidays in order to be paid for them (As already said - put the first day of the summer holidays as your return date) .KIT days you can have 10 full or 20 split - check how you'll be paid prior to agreeing, I believe, but again please look into this (!) they are able to offset pay/mat pay so this may impact when you choose to do them Also, have a look at Teacher's SPL - you can take up to three chunks (I think) where you 'return' - if you work out the best holidays to do this in, you'll receive full pay and you don't actually return and partner doesn't need to take leave. There is a company that can work out the best options for your situation and fill the forms correctly for a small fee. X
I think they are completely separate. I think you can just say you are formally ending maternity leave in last week of term before summer holiday, come in for a few days and then you should be paid over summer. I think also if you do it as shared parental leave you can say you’re ’back to work’ block is the summer holiday….
