With a teacher pay announcement expected next week, we can be sure of one thing – government will claim it is a good deal for teachers and the unions will claim it isn’t, says Alistair Wood of @edaptuk – can’t we have some honesty for a change?

As I wrote I think last month, the government has effectively outsourced decision-making on senior pay in the schools sector to individual academy trust boards. They then benchmark pay decisions against those of other academy trusts. We see the results.

Arthur Terry Learning Partnership, the 24-school academy chain which has been beset by financial problems in recent years, is to be broken up, a letter from its interim CEO Lee Miller to parents suggests. SoS has made "decision in principle" to hand its academies to other trusts.

The Department for Education explicitly states:

“Teachers should avoid expressing personal political views to pupils if doing so could be seen as promoting those views.”

[Mr G @DeputyGrocott]

Teachers make around 1,500 decisions a day.
In a 10 hour day thats 150 decisions an hour.
That’s a decision to make every 24 seconds.
Nearly 300,000 decisions in 39 weeks of teaching.
Such a mentally demanding job.
Too many holidays, yeah right!

[Jon Severs @jon_severs]

It is now “almost impossible” for smaller MATs to remain sustainable, a CEO has told @JabedAhm in his article today.

The comments come as mergers accelerate, with the latest being White Horse Federation taking on 10 new schools.

[Education News @Edu_debated]

It’s a difficult time for educators. So much of @reformparty_uk politics is based on division & hate. Yet they now have an extra 1,400 councillors across the country. @Nigel_Farage led us blindly towards Brexit & what does his party offer by way of education policy or vision? 🥲
