Following a peaceful march for Palestine on January 18 in London, charges were brought against prominent activists, including former NEU executive member Alex Kenny. This statement calls for the charges to be dropped.

ASCL, NAHT, NEU and Community have told the Government to fully fund September’s 4% teacher and school leader pay increase

The PAC are absolutely right to focus on the worst teacher recruitment and retention crisis in a generation created by long hours, poor pay and Ofsted.

The Government must immediately scrap the two-child limit and benefit cap, and uplift benefits.

We should recognise the hard work of children and teachers in year 6 for the SATs exams but also that they narrow the curriculum and place unnecessary stress on pupils.

Expanding family services and SEND support will help identify need and offer help at the earliest opportunity.

It is a contradiction for this government to say they recognise the benefits of high-quality early education whilst our Maintained Nursery Schools (MNS) are under threat.

Sixth form colleges have returned a strong result in their indicative ballot. Should the pay claim not be met satisfactorily then a formal strike ballot will follow in the autumn term.

We urge the Education Secretary to fully engage with this pivotal report

Teachers should not be asked to trade-off between pay and pensions
