New cuts are shrinking school budgets in *every* local authority in England. We’re making sure parents, teachers and school staff across the country know the facts.

A 2.8% pay rise with no new funding isn’t a solution.

It puts more pressure on already stretched school budgets and won’t fix the recruitment & retention crisis.

We need real investment, not more cuts in disguise.

Great atmosphere at the picket lines at Shrewsbury college in their fight for fair pay with action against the DfE, this despite hostility from the college management trying to prevent NEU members from organising for the action.

What an amazing @neunion.bsky.social “It’s Not OK” conference. It was fantastic to speak to so many amazing educators about tackling sexism in school. I have so many new ideas to take back. Thank you!

Some of the stories our members tell us about Ofsted are disgraceful. No child and no educator should be belittled by inspectors. We need systems of support, Ofsted cannot provide that. #AbolishOfsted #TimeForRadicalReform

I’m really delighted with our NEU Disability Equality Toolkit. It keeps being added to all the while most recently a section on Access to Work. It’s a really useful resource.
