Paternity Leave

Hello
My partner has an anti-natal class next week that starts at 13:00 and would like me to go with her

Am I entitled to have time off for this?

The gov.uk website seems unclear

You have the statutory right for leave to attend two ante natal appointments, unfortunately there is no right to be paid for that time off, though your manager may choose to pay you but it is at his discretion
