Spring Statement: Teacher pay rise should top 3.7%, says NFER NFER’s Jack Worth said the DfE’s pay rise recommendation of 2.8% is now “unimaginable” in the light of new forecasts on average earnings growth

The DfE's pay recommendation of 2.8% staying the same after an increase in the OBR's forecast for average annual earnings growth is "unimaginable", the NFER has said www.tes.com/magazine/new...

So pleased to be part of the presenting team for these important events . I will definitely be taking the opportunity to unpack the impact of the spring spending review #hotoffthepress

"We need resilience now more than ever, together with a healthy dose of optimism. Because these are not easy times...the theme of this conference is A Brighter Future...and we firmly believe that by working constructively with policymakers, we have the best chance of making it a reality."

"Every 2 years, we take a whole-school photo. As headteacher, I’m the last piece of the puzzle, standing at the back, looking out across the entire school. And in that moment, it really hits you – the sheer diversity of young lives we serve."

ASCL President @mannybotwe.bsky.social #ASCL2025

Countdown to @ascl-uk.bsky.social annual conference 2025 is on. I'm really pleased to be working with @emmajharrisonx.bsky.social on our workshop session on business leadership. It's about so much more than finance! We will be looking through the lens of leading organisational strategy. Join us!

More than half of councils face insolvency over special needs spending – survey The Local Government Association is calling on the Government to urgently address the issue in its spending review.

“It's not just that many councils are set to go bust because funding for #SEN has not kept pace with demand...it is also the risk that the money that is available ends up going into plugging deficits rather than actually supporting young people," says @julia-harnden.bsky.social

Very well deserved Sam ! Ps your own children are always the hardest to please 😉

Can 2025 bring a radical rethink of how we consider SEND? What would it take to create a truly fair education system? It needs to go beyond ‘brave school leaders’, argues Margaret Mulholland

‘It’s not the children who need fixing, it’s our system’: @mmulholland.bsky.social explains why it is time for policymakers to ‘step up’ and design for equitable outcomes for all pupils
