@MsGHist I'm a primary school parent governor and love it. Have found it amazing cpd, and fascinating insight into how a school is run. Have also been part of a new HT recruitment process this year, was refreshing to be on the other side of the interview table for a change!
@HannaJ21 @mtptproject @katielockett I changed schools on mat leave&negotiated before I accepted the job that my new school would pay back the mat pay. Quite painfree. In terms of qualifying for another mat leave, I recommend also asking for "continuation of service" to be applied to your new job, it often is anyway
@WhistleblowingT I have recently left a role after 1 year and returned to my previous school, albeit for different circumstances. Was a v good decision. Happy to DM if you wish to ask more. No regrets, and was lovely to be back, and everyone was pleased to have me back they said! :)
@profprofMFL Hmm this gave me food for thought! Yes I totally agree, the gender biases of conforming to men is so prevalent, I don't believe anyone is addressing this. Would love to read more on this
@jb967new @assistantheaduk @lizbrooks_66 Agreed. I wonder what @PregnantScrewed would think of the overt discrimination of those who have carrying duties who would not be eligible to apply...?
As a teacher I go in to work everyday to help improve the life chances of young people. A group that has been hit hard over the past few years.
So people ask me why, if I care so much about these young people, why will I strike.
Is it that your pay has fallen in value by…
Here's why more than 90% of @neunion teachers voted to strike, and why there are such desperate shortages of teachers in important subjects. At the end of the Labour government in 2008/9, teachers were paid 1.67 times the national average salary. Today they are paid 1.41 times...
Jeremy Clarkson should lose all media work he currently has and the editor of the Sun needs to be sacked for inciting violence against women. Yes, let's put cancel culture in full motion!
I work at a posh school that requires us to wear academic gowns on occasions. All the other staff spent hundreds of pounds on theirs. I bought a cape from a magic shop.
Is there anyone @BBCNews with a GCSE pass grade in Maths? Or were they all on holiday today? This went out at 6pm and again at 10pm. What errors can you spot?
Hi all,
We are looking for an Assistant Head to join the Senior Leadership Team. If you think you have what it takes to be a leader, are a single man in your 20s with a blue suit and brown shoes that you wore to your sister’s wedding, and called Steve, you should apply.
Thanks x
It’s World Teachers Day today. So posting to recognise the hard work, sustained effort and infinite patience that my amazing teaching staff exhibit every day to make StG’s a great place of learning and fun.
