3 Day Commitment in June during PGCE

Presumably you mean June 2024 as June 2023 has already happened

Probably best off contacting the course convenor to see how that might be handled. Not sure if there is any formal way to take leave or to make up days later for pre-booked events.

Whoops I meant 2024!! I keep thinking it’s only 2022 haha. Okay! I might email them in a few days and speak to them. A lot of it is already pre-booked with money spent, so I will need to take the days off somehow. Just frustrated it’s not a weekend. I didn’t even clock it 😖

.not really sure how PGCE programmes work with regards to leave

The only time off is the school holidays, basically.

Hello! I’m starting my PGCE in September and I’m very excited to begin and get stuck in. However, I’ve just checked my diary and realised that a 3 day commitment I have in June 2023 is across a Wednesday-Friday period when I thought it was Friday-Sunday. I have a wedding up north, and it will be during the third to last week of my 2nd placement school. Basically 3-4 weeks before the end of the course. I don’t have any other commitments at all booked across the course, and I plan to have full attendance (if I don’t get sick), but I really will need this time off. Does anyone know how easy it’ll be for me to explain to them this situation? It is not something I feel comfortable cancelling as it’s an important event, and I don’t want to lie or pull a sickie either. I am happy to complete a further 3 days when I return if necessary for QTS, etc.
