A day or two later, I realised that this fortnight was going to coincide with a professional development course I’m booked on. In a minor panic, I phoned the jury summoning officer to find out whether I could still get a deferment.
To my surprise, I was told simply to write a letter explaining the situation and, most importantly, to name the date when it would be most convenient for me to begin service.
I would urge all teachers receiving inconvenient summonses to speak to the jury summoning officer and try to arrange appropriate dates, rather than simply requesting a deferral on the summons form.
