Let’s be honest: the main reason for the 32.5hr rule is to stop schools reducing to 4 day weeks to manage budgets. It’s there as an anti-embarrassment pre-election policy, to be pulled out if a crackdown is needed. Hence the government doesn’t really care how it’s achieved.
Most schools already provide 32.5 hours. But, as we revealed back in March, others have been left 'in the dark' over how the DfE wanted them to meet the target, which - until today - was due to kick in from this Sept. tes.com/magazine/news/…

Our members have demanded a better deal on pay, workload and working hours. Ministers must now get back to the negotiating table to agree a deal that will command the support of our members or they will be responsible for industrial action in the autumn term.
📢 BALLOT RESULTS 📢 88.5% voted for strike action 94.3% voted for action short of strike action Turnout 51.9%.
The nonsense talked by ministers about (a) the independent pay review bodies and (b) how inflation works: all thanks to @PeterStefanovi2:
I MAKE NO EXCUSES FOR MY RAGE. This truth twisting Government’s treatment of our public sector workers - who kept this country going during the pandemic - has been absolutely shameful. Watch this in disbelief and if you share my anger RT it widely
The number of head teachers leaving before retirement is the highest it’s ever been. It’s 4 x worse than in 2010. We need inspirational leaders for the future of children’s education. @GillianKeegan, face up to the crisis in our schools. #DoYourJobGill #SaveOurSchools #PayUpNow
For those of you heading west over the next few weeks. "Cornwall sea and rivers are most polluted by sewage in the UK. Sewage was pumped into Cornwall's waters for nearly 80,000 hours last year." cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-…
Ok, let’s get this right… It’s an illegal mine, operating without a licence for 8 months, over which time the illegal coal has released close to a million tonnes of C02. But the police are arresting the protesters trying to stop criminal action. Hmmm. On whose authority?
⚠️HAPPENING NOW⚠️ XR activists have just been arrested by the police for having blocked an ILLEGAL COAL MINE at Ffos-y-Fran, near Merthyr Tydfil! Where is the justice? It's time to end coal! #EndFossilFuels #CoalMine @xr_cymru 👀 Updates to follow 💥

Just listened to Keir Starmer’s big education speech. Some big ideas & as ever, I think the devil will be in the detail (which is totally understandable). Here are 4 examples of the pitfalls that need to be avoided.
Yesterday, I met a member who is from Belgium. She was on strike because her pay as a 🇬🇧 teacher is in continual decline. Public Sector payrises in 🇧🇪 automatically track inflation. Teachers got a payrise of 11%. Inflation in 🇧🇪 today is 4.15% There was no "wage price spiral"
Two and a half weeks until the end of term and we still cannot set a budget because you won’t release the pay information. You are causing stress and anxiety. We can’t plan activities for the children and you are letting them down. @GillianKeegan @halfon4harlowMP @educationgovuk
MFL in England is ther most severely graded subject, especially Spanish. ffteducationdatalab.org.uk/2023/06/revisi…
If @GillianKeegan had published the pay review body report and got round the table this action could have been avoided. It’s time for her to do job and publish it and talk. #SaveOurSchools
