The damaging affect of school cuts are plain to see. No wonder NEU members have to take strike action
The impact of school budget cuts is evident, and it's clear why NEU members are compelled to strike. #EducationMatters #StrikeAction #SchoolCuts @SchoolCuts

I had a tough lesson with low ability y8 on Tuesday unsuccessfully trying to find circumference of a circle but tried again in #MathsToday and thankfully the relentless work done on what is radius and what is diameter paid off. Made this sheet inspired by @draustinmaths.com fill in the blank sheets.

Great to see @danielkebedeneu.bsky.social calling for teacher flexible working. With 10% leaving annually, change is needed. We found it's complex but achievable with whole-school approaches and strong leadership.

Developing a whole-school approach to flexible working - Timewise

Our 16-month Teaching Pioneers Programme saw us partner with eight secondary schools, within three multi-academy trusts, to explore how best to champion and deliver flexible working within the profession.

This shouldn’t be controversial to say - educators deserve a better work-life balance.

It’s a stressful profession in a recruitment crisis.

If we want more teachers, and we want them at their best, they need a better working week, just like everybody else.
