Following the release of the DfE's evidence to the STRB, @ascl-uk.bsky.social have commented: "The inadequacy of the proposed pay award is compounded by the government’s intention that schools should foot the bill out of their existing allocations." Read the full comment 👇 tinyurl.com/4j3py89z

It's hard to reconcile DfE's assertion in their evidence to STRB that a 2.8% pay award is 'appropriate' with the recent @thenfer.bsky.social modelling on what is needed to meet the commitment to recruit 6,500 new teachers. Increased pay has to form part of that package. www.tes.com/magazine/new...

I’ve been on leave so seems appropriate to start my Bluesky journey with something non-work and this blue sky above the safe harbour of Amble seemed pretty apt 🦋
