We are ready to return to ACAS at the earliest opportunity. If the governing board are willing to do the same and negotiate in good faith, we can do that this week and avoid any further industrial action

Fundraiser for Prendergast Schools support staff who have been on strike, Friday 26 May. Doors open at 7pm, drinks will be sold. Quiz starts at 8pm. Come as a team or come as an individual - there will be no problem joining a team.

This is the @LSFederation governor tasked w writing the ‘objective’ report that informed their decision on academisation simultaneously marshalling parent opposition to our members action (great multitasking @ianduffytweets you could be a teacher!) 🧵

[Lewisham NEU @LewishamNeu]

We have emailed ACAS this lunchtime to request a mutually agreeable time for both NEU & @LSFederation GB to meet to discuss resolution of this dispute so that we can suspend all industrial action. We have suggested this week or a day in the half term if need be

Good to see some coverage of my research for CASE on high salaries in academy trusts vs LAs in today's Private Eye, particularly mentioning the stat of 6 £130k+ people in 6 LAs, vs 106 £130k+ in 19 MATs. These LAs, and these MATs, of course, have roughly the same no of pupils.

New: Academy trusts wasting millions of pounds on highly-paid managers

Possibly the most extensive trawl of academy accounts ever, plus analysis of LA accounts and FOIs, finds large MATs spending 8x as much per pupil on £130k+ managers as are large LAs.

Disappointing that the @LSFederation governing board will not agree to a reasonable compromise. We ask governors again to please compromise.

Our members at Prendergast School in Lewisham are out on strike to protest plans to convert to academy status. This is not in the interests of the staff, the students or the school in general!

[Lewisham NEU @LewishamNeu]

Great piece by James Kerr putting things into perspective: https://t.co/3Vr373xFiC
