If there’s a surplus in school support staff’s pension scheme - it should go to them. Not used to boost teacher’s pay. School support staff are the lowest paid education workers. Why should their pension scheme be misused this way? Our letter to the Education Secretary 👇

Support staff are showing up for pupils every day, but can't be expected to solve teacher shortages. In the @DailyMirror today, UNISON research shows staff moved from vital roles to cover classes, often with no extra pay. Children deserve better. Schools need proper investment.

Departments often have “retreats.”Weak. This year. our department is having an “attack.” We shot our way into the conference room of the department of economics (they have a water cooler!) and have repelled efforts to dislodge us. This has energized and unified our department
