MPs are in line to receive an above inflation pay rise of 7.1% Yet the government don’t think junior doctors deserve more than 6%, despite a decade of real terms pay cuts Please RT if you agree health workers deserve so much better mirror.co.uk/news/politics/m…

Around 70 parents and sixth formers came out today to support @NASUWT teachers taking action at @StIvoAcademy Pics are the cupcakes we took. We 💯 support our teachers standing up to @astreaacademies policies. Parents see the negative impact at home. #weareastrea #edutwitter

On one hand, @astreaacademies says they'll "continue to work hard to avoid any disruption to students' education.", in response to tomorrow's @NASUWT walkout at @StIvoAcademy. While the Interim Principal says "It's pretty much a non-story" 🤷 youtube.com/watch?v=vVunMlZc…

What was the last thing @GillianKeegan actually did in her role as Education Secretary? I genuinely can't think of anything. She doesn't talk to unions, headteachers or staff. She doesn't address, or even acknowledge, the recruitment and retention crisis. Nothing. #SaveOurSchools

"Most staff, including myself are looking for other jobs as the repressive nature of @astreaacademies is designed to implicitly bully experienced staff to leave. It is clear that our experience does not count for anything and that we are replaceable." cambridge-news.co.uk/news/lo…

So many parents of @StIvoAcademy students have completed our survey and this is just one of the shocking statistics that has come from that data. Our students (and teachers) deserve better from @astreaacademies.

I hoped that this kind of imposed approach that was a feature of some early MATs had disappeared. Schools need the freedom to work with their local communities to develop approaches that suit their circumstances. In school improvement, context matters bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ca…

If you’re angry about kids missing a day of school due to strikes But you’re not angry about a decade of cuts that leaves kids with worse education *every single day* It’s time to reassess your priorities 📚 #EnoughIsEnough

The disgraced Home Secretary @SuellaBraverman claimed £2,684 back on expenses to cover the utility bills on her second home last year. Retweet this if you think Braverman should be paying for her own utility bills.
