ROUND UP postage strikes

Monday brought the historic announcement that teachers in England were set to walk out on strike over pay next month, and subsequent crunch meetings between unions and government officials failed to deliver a resolution to the pay dispute.

The biggest teaching union, the NEU, has declared seven days of strike action in February and March after its ballot result, while the NASUWT teaching union and the NAHT school leaders’ union have both said they are considering re-running their strike ballots after they failed to achieve the minimum turnout. 

With questions swirling around staffrooms about the rights of striking and non-striking teachers in the event of industrial action, and the measures schools can take to minimise disruption to education, Tes published its essential Q&A guide.

In other news, schools minister Nick Gibb came under fire for suggesting stretched pupil premium funding could be used to provide free school meals, and Ofsted’s chief inspector defended the watchdog’s controversial subject research reviews.
