Flexible Working in Schools - Legislation change in 2025
How can teachers work flexibly?
In 2025, significant changes to flexible working legislation enhances employee rights, allowing requests from day one of employment and requiring quicker responses from employers.
Flexible working in schools is lagging behind other sectors. Many Heads and Governors are nervous about granting more flexible working requests. The main barrier being cited is TIMETABLING for flexible working.
At DL Education, we can show you how greater flexibility within the curriculum and timetabling can be achieved. Our Consultants have already worked with many schools and Trusts to effect change and can provide training and support to senior leadership teams and timetablers to make this a reality. Are you a Head who is receiving lots of flexible working requests? Are you feeling overwhelmed? Why not get in touch for a consultation about ways to meet the new legislation's demands?
