Solihull’s St Peters School teachers welcome day-off scheme

The days off are staggered throughtout the two weeks so the school can remain open.

Staff are not able to choose the day they get off, it is planned on a rota basis instead.

It’s allowed Kelly Davis to spend more time with her parents, and care for her mother who has dementia.

The 48-year-old English teacher said: “You’re always juggling, who do you put first?

“You want to be able to put your family first but there are times when you need to be present for your class or your school.”

The teacher, a parent herself, said she spent most weekends doing marking but the day off allowed her to do complete that work so she could spend the weekend with her parents.

In the six weeks since it was introduced Ms Davis said it had already made a “huge difference”.
