📺WATCH: Rain pours into a classroom in a school in Wandsworth because there is no money to repair the roof. The teacher told us the room has flooded a number of times in recent years. Children shouldn’t be dodging raindrops while trying to learn - this situation is urgent. We’re calling on Government to commit an extra £4.4bn every year to upgrade school buildings.

Once again, we have seen a delayed School Teachers’ Review Body pay report seemingly leaked to the press. Teachers deserve a fair pay rise that is above inflation. It is essential to address the recruitment and retention crisis. But the government must also recognise schools cannot make efficiencies. Any pay offer made must be fully funded. Watch Daniel Kebede 👇

“If we agree that closing schools was a necessity in this pandemic, for at least some time, but that it has had very serious consequences for young people as a result of that, then I think we should be prepared to invest to try and stop that happening in the future. We let children down by not investing pre-pandemic in smaller class sizes.” Former National Education Union joint general secretary Kevin Courtney speaking at the government’s Covid inquiry yesterday. #ValueEducation

“I could tell you about the Ofsted inspection last year when the inspector held his hand to my face and told me to stop talking because he didn’t want to hear my story. The Ofsted anxiety is real. We cannot live; we cannot teach in constant fear of ‘the call'. It is clearly time to abolish Ofsted and replace it with a body fit for purpose with a focus on school improvement and not school inspection.” – school leader Aimee Jayne Turner speaking in the Ofsted debate at #NEU2025. #AbolishOfsted

“Ofsted was extremely detrimental to every staff member’s mental health. What happened to be a happy, nurturing environment, turned into an unsmiling fearing institution. It gave us a short insight as to what Ruth Parry would have felt. Ofsted is random, unaccountable and dangerous.” - Alice Butterton, NEU rep, Byron Court school speaking in the Ofsted debate at #NEU2025 . #AbolishOfsted

New year, new government, schools still burdened with the same old problems... Our message to the government is clear: do the right thing. Schools can't make more 'efficiencies'. Fully fund fair pay now. If nothing changes, our indicative ballot opens on 1 March.
