5 journalists killed in a van marked press - and the BBC says they weren't targeted.

What about the other 145 journalists?

I mean seriously. How do they sleep at night?

The best conversation I have had this week was discussing with one of the 4 year olds I teach if “your nose is the bogies house” anyone have an opinion?

Educators Say…we won’t accept unfunded pay settlements that mean SEND funding is cut

Trust cutting 16 teachers at one school amid swathe of redundancies The Synergy Multi Academy Trust is planning to make more than 30 members of staff redundant, including 16 teachers at a single school.

Synergy MAT, Norfolk.

Remember the promises the academisers made?

Absolutely shocking and we are sure the local community and staff unions will fight this tooth and nail.

2022 - 16 high-earners.
2023 - 25 high earners.

Improve productivity how? We already do the most unpaid overtime of any profession. Should I just wander around the shops at weekends teaching kids to read in ASDA? #NEU #Payup

DfE evidence to STRB on teacher pay in England | National Education Union We are putting the Government on notice. 2.8% unfunded won’t do.

The Government has proposed an unfunded, 2.8% pay increase for teachers next year. Instead of continuing Conservative austerity, the Government must fully fund the above-inflation pay increases desperately needed to value, recruit and retain teachers and school leaders. neu.org.uk/latest/press...

Very much looking forward to united action with Health colleagues. Well said Daniel!

The SENDCo role is in dire straits. This isn’t fixable without increased funding. #NEU #SEND #PAYUP!

The head of one of these schools ran ofsted. There is no place for this kind of behaviour in education; towards anyone. I hope these young people get justice.

A great turnout on the picket line at Holy Cross College in Bury, sending a clear message that there is no pay justice without the same pay deal applying to ALL sixth form teachers. The government must pay up now! #PayUp24

Pay justice - it really is just black and white. SFX College staff striking for a 3rd day today for an equal pay rise with school teachers and to defend collective bargaining. #NEU #payup24 @neunion.bsky.social

Absolutely, but I think SEND is the sharp end of the education funding crisis and the new government haven’t got a grip of how serious it is. #SEND #education #NEU

I’m seeing more and more posts from fellow #SENDCos who are no longer able to keep going. These are highly skilled, trained, experienced and very caring professionals who have been broken by an unworkable education system. The government need to fix things. We need funding and to be listened to.

What’s behind the rise in suspensions, and how to solve it What can we learn from leaders who have got suspensions under control?

Academisation was supposed to solve the problem of ‘failing’ schools. It didn’t. So now some academies resort to draconian behaviour policies ‘to solve the problem’. School improvement doesn’t have to be like this. #neednotgreed schoolsweek.co.uk/whats-behind...
