Well actually, while threatening redundancies, Simon Beamish, the CEO of the trust, took home between £350-360K last year. That could be 10 teachers!

Well actually, maybe LAT could have a look elsewhere to save money before making educators redundant?

No teacher should face the choice of delivering a diminished curriculum because of funding shortages or leaving the profession. Cuts hurt education and push educators out. It’s time to invest in education properly. #FundFairPay

An unfunded pay rise for teachers will push school budgets over the edge. We've written to the pay review body highlighting the funding problems faced by schools. Read our evidence here: https://buff.ly/3PZSXad

Huge unfunded burdens? What’s that like? We have no idea of that in education.

Schools Week @schoolsweek.bsky.social · Jan 14

The government is ploughing ahead with delayed plans to offer students in all special schools in England free NHS eye tests – but it has been warned it could create a 'huge unfunded burden'

Eye tests in special schools will create ‘unfunded burden’
