25mins of teaching time per day was cut for this. That's 77hrs lost per year. Over 2 yrs that's 1 GCSE of teaching lost. If students don't use the ruler or hold the book correctly they are disciplined. SLT have hovered in classes to enforce this #astreareads#edutwitter#astrea
Support and solidarity from NASUWT for our members @StIvoAcademy who are taking further strike action today.
Teachers have a right to expect school policies and working conditions that will empower them, not undermine their professionalism.
🎥 Reverend Matt Finch is a member of the St Ivo Parents Forum.
He tells our reporter @DanMasonSport about how he’s concerned for pupils’ learning at @StIvoAcademy in #StIves.
@NASUWT members who work at the school have been taking strike action today.
Teachers need policies that empower them, but our members @StIvoAcademy are being asked to enforce questionable rules that undermine their authority in the classroom.
We will always stand up for the right of teachers' professional judgement & autonomy to be respected.

"Accordingly, Jonathan will now be contacting both the local school governors and @astreaacademies to take this forward.” - Spokesperson for @JDjanogly (via @huntspost)

It was a pleasure to meet with local MP @JDjanogly today and raise our concerns about what harmful impact @astreaacademies policies are having in our school @StIvoAcademy We're delighted he will be helping us going forward.
Engaging with groups such as this one is an important means through which education provision can continue to be improved upon locally, and this remains one of my key priorities for the Huntingdon Constituency.🏫2/2

3 days, 300miles and 3 orange cycle jerseys. Can’t wait to wear them again. Although I know others on L2P loved them so open to offers. Only used once, one careful owner @theCALMzone
It’s been fun and I loved every minute of my ride to Paris. But in case you wondered, this web chat is one of the many reasons I rode for the fantastic CALM whose work is changing lives and perceptions about men’s mental health @theCALMzone
Morning everyone. Feeling good today, not too many aches and pains. Thanks everyone for all your support, lovely words, donations putting up with my boring cycling stories. I couldn’t of done it without you.
