Shame on those employers/schools who use "Support Plans" to push out experienced teachers due to them being being higher cost! Support plans ‘misused’ to ‘force out’ teachers from schools, say campaigners schoolsweek.co.uk/support-plan... #ValueEducators

@neucheshireeast.bsky.social commits to ongoing support for parent-colleagues! The @mtptproject.bsky.social’s Cradle to Classroom programme of parental transition support will be fully-funded for state school colleagues in the North West next year. Find out more at www.mtpt.org.uk/coaching

📉 Fewer teachers, fewer joining, more part-time. 📈 Class sizes rising, experience walking out the door. 📢 The crisis isn’t over. Real-terms pay cuts & crushing workload are driving staff out. We need urgent investment to value, recruit & retain teachers. #SaveOurSchools #NEU

The government’s announcement on the teacher pay offer for September still falls short. A pay award that isn’t fully funded means more cuts to staff and resources. Schools deserve better. 🔗 neu.org.uk/press-releases/teacher-pay-announcement #FundFairPay #SaveOurSchools

This afternoon the STRB will be announced as confirmed during the urgent question to SoS for Education re STRB’s recommendations for 2025/26. being debated in parliament right now. #FundFairPay #StopSchoolCuts @danielkebedeneu.bsky.social @neunion.bsky.social parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...

Ministers have shared "significant concerns" that cash-strapped Cheshire East Council could go effectively bankrupt. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/681b72...

Labour’s pledge to recruit 6,500 extra teachers is already under pressure. A new report warns it won’t meet growing demand — with secondary schools and colleges facing worsening shortages. #ValueEducation #ValueEducators @neunion.bsky.social @danielkebedeneu.bsky.social

‘Remember the dead, fight for the living’ on Workers Memorial Day when we remember all those who went out to work and never came home. ✊ Key to keeping people safe at work is a strong, organised union in every workplace. Yesterday we joined our sister Unions to mark #IWMD2025

We quote Bridget Phillipson’s own words from 2023 back to her:”She told us to wait for the independent pay review body’s recommendations. Those recommendations have been made and now she refuses to publish them. Will she come clean….and publish the recommendations today?” #NEU #FundFairPay

👀Full film on Monday🎬 🚨The story of one school sounding the alarm bells on the impact of 15 years of Government cuts. ⚠️ And one headteacher who is putting out an urgent call to mobilise, so schools across the country have the funding to deliver a quality education.

It’s time to make your voice heard! Executive elections are LIVE — don’t forget to cast your vote for your district and equalities stand. Head to your post box now and get those ballots in! Every vote counts. #NEU2025 #YourVoiceYourVote #EqualityMatters #NEUElections #UnionStrong

The School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) has made its recommendation and the report is sitting on Bridget Phillipson’s desk. We ask the Education Secretary to publish the report now and fund fair pay for teachers and our schools. #NEU2025 #FundFairPay

🚨 Our preliminary ballot on pay and funding closes at 4pm today! 🤔 Time to set the record straight! ✔️ Lack of classroom resources. ✔️ Not enough new teachers. And the government’s solution? An unfunded 2.8% pay rise. Vote now👉 NEUActivate.com

Funding for the government’s 2.8% pay rise will come from your school’s budget. Staff, books, support... what gets cut this time? 🗳 2 days left. Use your vote at NEUActivate.com #FundFairPay #SaveOurSchools

“When the new Labour government came in, we had hope.” Secondary school teacher Sarah puts it perfectly. This isn't just about teacher pay. This is about the funding of our education system. This is about the historic underfunding that has gone on for years. #FundFairPay #SaveourSchools

Unfunded 2.8% pay rise means real terms pay cut for teachers. It will drive school budgets to a 15-year low. That means fewer staff. Fewer resources. Same crisis, just deeper. 🗳 We need your help to persuade the government to #FundFairPay and #SaveOurSchools. Vote now: NEUActivate.com

The government calls it a 2.8% pay rise. But with no new funding, schools are expected to absorb the cost themselves. That means cuts to staff, resources or both. 🗳 5 days left to vote – head over to NEUActivate.com #FundFairPay #SaveOurSchools

🗳️ Get The Vote Out 🗳️ A 2.8% pay rise will push school budgets to a 15-year low. There simply isn’t enough money. We need to stand together and tell the government it must #FundFairPay and #SaveOurSchools #ValueEducation #ValueEducators Vote NOW 👉 neuactivate.com/login

Since 2010, teachers have lost £93,871 in real terms pay cuts. Schools are already unable to recruit and retain staff, and pupils are paying the price. If the unfunded 2.8% pay rise goes ahead, it will mean more cuts to staff and resources. Vote now👉 NEUActivate.com #FundFairPay #SaveOurSchools

Breaking: With welfare cuts leading the news & the curriculum review's interim report out today, DfE has snuck out this school costs technical note www.gov.uk/government/p... It makes for grim reading. Schools can afford less than half of proposed 2.8% pay rise. schoolsweek.co.uk/schools-can-...

Great day celebrating International Women’s Day at South Cheshire College @neunion.bsky.social

Are Academy Trusts better value for money? “excessive spending” on gifts – including a Harrods’ hamper, “luxury hotel stays”, “aromatherapy treatments”! Money that should have been for children’s education 😡 not for the then CEO or “consultant” cronies. schoolsweek.co.uk/academy-brok...

The @neunion.bsky.social has long campaigned against academisation that began in the early 2000s with the introduction of academies by the @teamlabouruk.bsky.social. The first academies were opened in 2002, 23 years later we now have the proof it’s a failed model: neu.org.uk/advice/your-...

Inflation hits 3% (CPI) today. RPI rose to 3.6% in January, up from 3.5% in December. Schools cannot afford another unfunded pay cut. It will deepen the crisis in recruitment and retention. Teachers (after 5 years) in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 earn 17% less than in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. People voted for change. #FundFairPay

Here are the “efficiencies” schools 🏫 are making as a result of underfunding our schools and Labour now continuing 14 years of Tory austerity. 🚫💷 #FundFairPay 📰 Cash-strapped schools plan to lay off teachers in blow to Labour’s promise www.theguardian.com/education/20...

The result of Gove’s & Tory failed competition and marketisation of schools ideology. Greedy CEOs on £000,000s this is where ‘efficiencies’ should be made. Money that could and should be spent in our schools, not on fat corporate pay packets. #FundFairPay @neunion.bsky.social
