    The pay settlement for teachers announced today is not affordable within existing resources, especially in the context of unprecedented energy costs and other inflationary pressures for schools. It is essential that the government commits to a funded pay settlement. 1/2

    Thank you to @Sawubona_Chris who just delivered an exceptionally inspiring speech on his personal story of racial discrimination. We also heard from him on his time working with some of the world’s greatest leaders including Nelson Mandela. #Belonging #CSTConf23

    Without funding to meet this pay settlement, many schools and trusts will not be able to set a balanced budget. 2/2

    We welcome @educationgovuk announcement of £1 billion funding package for 2020-21 to support lost learning. This announcement is in line with @CSTvoice position that catch up is a long-term endeavour best aligned with a school or trust’s curriculum.

    A massive congratulations to our Chief Executive @LeoraCruddas on receiving her CBE today. We're so proud of this recognition of her dedication to the sector 👏👏
    Proud to receive my CBE today at Windsor Castle. I want to pay tribute to all colleagues in schools and trusts who enacted such incredible duty of care during the pandemic - and continue to do so. It is such a privilege to work in education.

    Lots of media speculation about Autumn plans for schools in the last 24 hours. Our advice to @CSTvoice members is to wait for the publication of official planning guidance.

    On this Easter Sunday, we'd like to thank teachers and leaders for the exceptional work you are doing to protect the #NHS, keep children safe and fed, and as far as possible, maintain education and learning. We hope you get some time to rest this weekend.
