'We must force schools to give pregnant women their entitlements' 🤰🏿✊🏽 #maternitymatters #supportingparents #supportingmothers #NEU2024

#WomenEd Being10%Braver 🦩 Last month I applied for the next step in my teaching career. The role was advertised as full-time but I was #10PercentBraver and asked if they would consider a part-time option. I was successful at interview and they have offered it as a job-share 🎉

Another year of poor ITT recruitment is on the cards, with 11 out of 17 subjects below target, and geography and primary also likely to be below. Bursaries and international recruitment propping some subjects up a little, but generally weak like last year

So lucky to get to hear the amazing Jaz Ampaw-Farr speaking today at our INSET. What an inspirational start to the term!

At your school, can you apply for TLR posts if you work part-time?

If we are to address the retention crisis in teaching it is vital we capturesl the reasons why women aged 30-39 leave the classroom and to see the reasons why they stay. Whichever camp you're in please complete the relevant survey & share widely in your networks!

New flex legislation came into force on 6 April - school leaders - are you ready for it?

THIS is why it is important

Flexible working allows women to progress and men to take on more of a share in caring responsibilities - both of which will improve the shocking 20% gender pay gap in the education sector.

‘The educational sector’s poor standing is due, in part, to large gaps in Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs); of the worst-performing 100 public bodies with the largest gender pay gap, all but three were academy trusts.’

Really shocking. 👿👿👿 #WomenEd

“Expecting teachers to work for free is not acceptable.”

In honour of the Gladiators final, here’s my son doing all the moves during the opening titles.

For me, the plaster on his head, his sudden decision to get a unicorn to help him and his impression of Viper really add to it.
