Teacher SPL is an incredibly valuable…
Teacher SPL is an incredibly valuable service—I’m so grateful I was told about it, though I only wish I’d known sooner.
Although school policy suggests you have to share your SPL, that’s not always the case, and Teacher SPL guides you through every step of the process. They even help complete the paperwork, which is a lifesaver when you’re already running on little sleep during maternity leave.
Bethan was fantastic—so supportive, approachable, and never made me feel like any question was too small.
If you’re planning to go on maternity leave or are already on maternity leave, I’d highly recommend getting in touch with Teacher SPL.
Reliable & extremely helpful
Everyone at Teacher’s SPL were really helpful and supportive providing advice on not just the process but also on approaching conversations with HR. Responses were always quick and everyone I spoke to was always really knowledgeable about the processes. Having looked at the paperwork myself and finding it complicated and overwhelming Teacher’s SPL took the stress out of the process and I saw the small fee as an investment in my maternity leave with what I have now gained financially.
An extra 9 weeks full pay during mat leave
I paid for the last minute service a couple of days before the deadline to apply for SPL for the Easter holidays. Kinza was fantastic and helped me to complete my application so quickly, literally within a couple of hours! The support of Teacher’s SPL helped me to get 9 weeks full pay during my maternity leave. The service is great value for money and makes the process so much easier when you have a new baby to care for.
Great experience
Such a brilliant service to use! Made the whole process so easy and gave good advice on how to maximise SPL. Everything was taken care of I only had to provide my dates, answered all of my questions quickly and gave good solutions! Literally add thousands on to your maternity pay.
Thank you!
Absolutely amazing service
Absolutely amazing service. Really quick to answer my initial request and then answered all my follow up questions promptly. The man who helped me also recalculated for me because I wasn't sure which return date I wanted. Literally given me thousands back into my wages.
Trustworthy and successful!
Teacher’s SPL helped get me 5 weeks of full pay. Value for money is excellent for the service they provide and the peace of mind the ladies give you. Would highly recommend to teachers!
Excellent investment
Teachers SPL service was a fantastic investment in gaining me over a month of additional full pay and saving me a lot of time in completing the forms and fretting over wording to HR. Kinza is very efficient with responses and has great attention to detail. Very pleased with the service and would absolutely recommend to others.
I cannot recommend this enough…
I cannot recommend this service enough - it isn't advertised as much as it should be in schools but any teacher would be foolish not to use this service. For a small fee we had multiple forward and backward emails with the amazing Claire who was more than helpful and guided us through the whole application and continued to help with questions we had later down the line. Don't question doing this service, just do it.
Highly Recommended
Highly recommended. Sam was really helpful and made a complicated process seem less daunting. Thank you.
Would highly recommend, support offered throughout
A really easy to use service from start to finish. Kinza was so knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had with ease. We were really happy wit the level of support offered even after the plan was agreed and paperwork sent to our employers. It completely took all the stress out of having to navigate the process on your own.
Great communication and speedy
I was really struggling with completing the forms. Great communication and completed forms very quickly. If I'd have completed them myself I wouldn't have got anywhere near as much money during maternity leave. Completely worth it, would highly recommend.
Excellent service offered to teachers and their partners
We had a really positive experience with Teachers SPL, who were incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process of planning my maternity leave and making the most of shared parental leave. Their support made what initially felt like a complex and overwhelming process much more manageable.
Hannah was particularly efficient and supportive, especially as we were working to a tight deadline. She was always responsive, organised, and ensured everything progressed smoothly without adding any stress.
We also really appreciated how clearly all our questions were answered. The complexities of teachers’ shared parental leave can be difficult to navigate, but we felt fully informed and confident in the decisions we were making thanks to their expertise.
We would highly recommend Teachers SPL to anyone looking for knowledgeable, reliable support with shared parental leave.
Really helpful
Really helpful in explaining shared parental leave and completing the forms for me.
Teacher‘s SPL
This has been a great service. Bethan was so helpful and always responded within a few hours. I had lots of questions and was able to get help and support with everything I needed. Would definitely recommend!
Paying for SPL teachers was the best…
Paying for SPL teachers was the best decision I made. They resolved my issue within 2 weeks, which had taken me months going back and forth with my school. I highly recommend them to help remove stress and have your issues resolved quickly. Wish I’d used their services sooner!
Fantastic experience
I had a million questions and had to go back to Kinza for help when there was a pay problem at the end of my leave. Her support was fantastic and I can’t recommend Teachers SPL enough!
Great service
Great service. They organised and set up a plan in a timely manner and explained everything in detail. Answered any questions I had and made sure I understood the process. Amazing staff, would definitely use again!
