☀️Is there a maximum classroom temperature? edapt.org.uk/support/know... 🏫The School Premises (England) Regulations 2012 (which applies to maintained schools) do not specify maximum classroom temperatures for any parts of a school.

What does the Spending Review mean for schools? There’s a lot to digest, but here are some early takeaways on what it means for schools. 🧵

Have you seen the new Robinsons ad? 📺 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO6P... A teacher calls home about behaviour. The parent laughs it off. Meant as a joke, but it landed badly. With behaviour a real challenge, undermining teacher authority feels out of step & it appears to have backfired with teachers.

Interesting discussion on @ttradioofficial.bsky.social this weekend about the role of unions. Edapt was founded in 2011 to support teachers who wanted protection without campaigning. Unions matter, but they’re not for everyone and teachers should have a real choice and they do!

⚖️ The UK Supreme Court has clarified the legal definition of “sex” in a ruling that has significant implications for schools. We’ve published a practical guide on what it means and how schools may need to respond. 📖 www.edapt.org.uk/blog/2025/04... 🧵 A short thread 👇

👩‍🏫Teachers' Pensions: what do teachers need to know in 2025? edapt.org.uk/blog/2025/04... 💷You might have heard that the DfE has increased teachers’ pension contributions for the first time since 2015. The changes came into effect from 1 April 2025.

Why haven't the DfE published the STRB teacher pay recommendations yet? Despite the DfE having the report, they won't publish it or their response until after the local elections (1st May) due to us now being in a period of 'purdah' What's purdah? Let us explain...

BREAKING Following last week's indicative ballot results @neunion.bsky.social conference passes motion to 'launch a formal industrial action ballot if the final outcome of the STRB process remains unacceptable or if the govt doesn't announce real terms funding increases in the spending review' 🧵1/4

BREAKING The NEU indicative ballot has closed with those who voted in favour of rejecting an unfunded offer of 2.8% 🗳️Results 93.7% Reject the 2.8% pay recommendation 83.4% willing to take strike action if it goes to a formal ballot. Crucially though, less than half of NEU members voted at all🤷

An in-depth article focusing on one of the rising trends we have seen our casework this year - redundancies and restructuring both within the state and independent sectors. No signs of it letting up at the moment according to our casework team.

An increasing number of redundancies are already hitting the schools sector – with concerns of more on the horizon, warns @edaptuk.bsky.social

📑Curriculum and Assessment Review: what do teachers need to know? edapt.org.uk/blog/2025/03... 📚We don’t have a stance on the National Curriculum, pedagogy or what should be taught in schools. However, we hope this summary about the Curriculum and Assessment Review is accessible and informative.

💼 #SpringStatement update for schools: ➡️ No new money for schools ➡️ GDP growth for 2025 halved (2% 📉 1%) ➡️ Inflation forecast at 3.2% This only ramps up pressure on DfE budgets and makes sticking to the 2.8% pay recommendation harder to defend. More here: edapt.org.uk/blog/2025/03...

The next month could define the future for teacher pay, school funding, and industrial relations. At Edapt, we’ve outlined the key developments to look out for, from the Spring Statement to union conferences. Read more: www.edapt.org.uk/blog/2025/03... #Education #TeacherPay #SchoolFunding
