A message from the Department for Education #SaveOurSchools #PayUp

I just wrote a letter to my local newspaper about why I support Free School Meals for All. Writing a letter puts pressure on MPs and spreads the word in every community. If you agree no child should go hungry at school, will you write a letter too? freeschoolmealsforall.org.uk/letter-to-the-…

NEW: Mayor @SadiqKhan will fund Free School Meals for every child in primary school in London for one year. But only the Government has the power to do this for every child in every part of England - for good. @RishiSunak, will you extend #FreeSchoolMealsForAll?

This Trust plans to academise a Sheffield LA Specialist School where some of our most vulnerable students are educated. Bad for pupils, parents & staff! 😡@UNISONSheffiel1 @leeparkinson14 @NEUSheffield @sheffieldnasuwt @antiacademies @SheffieldStar @BBCSheffield @BBCLookNorth

Today, we held talks with @GillianKeegan on teacher pay. There was no offer made on teachers’ pay in England for this year or next.

I've just emailed my MP in support of a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise for educators. Email your MP to get them to support the campaign 👉 ctt.ec/Kd0js+

The government have been saying there's no strength of feeling from Teachers on the strike. 18,000 new @NEUnion members since Monday says different. We strike for funding and fair pay. Save our schools!

But we are so proud of the stand they have made – support staff are the backbone of our schools and we promise to carry on fighting for decent pay and proper funding for every one of them.

We know our support staff members will be hugely disappointed and we’ll be contacting them later this week to talk about what comes next.

This result, despite being hugely in favour of action, just missed the Government's restrictive thresholds. Schools cannot run without support staff and the vital work they do.

In England, 84.13% of support staff in the ballot group voted YES to taking industrial action on a turnout of 46.46% per cent.

In our ballot, @NEUnion members voted in overwhelming numbers to take historic strike action for a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise. We have to save our schools.
