- "Another baseless and outrageous slur on our fantastic profession that must be corrected immediately" - @paulwhitwman6 Read our full letter to Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi regarding Michael Fabricant MP's comments below.
- We have contacted @Telegraph to ask why their front page says 'Head Teachers 'refusing to fully reopen schools'" when reporting our survey data that shows 97% plan to fully reopen to all pupils this week. You can too: [email protected] naht.org.uk/news-and-opini…
- AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM NAHT. Only leave your child at school if you have no other choice. Please, please watch and share this important video message from our general secretary Paul Whiteman.
00:00 - With #CloseTheSchools trending, we believe that it is right to prioritise keeping pupils in school. But the govt must be wholly transparent about the risks to children, families & school staff & give clear guidance on what additional safety measures #schools may have to take.
- School leaders vote overwhelmingly to reject government’s ‘inadequate and unaffordable’ pay offer 👤 64% of @NAHTnews members responded. 🚫 90% voted to reject the offer. 💰 92% said it was unaffordable. naht.org.uk/News/Latest-co…
- NAHT is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Ruth Perry. Ruth was clearly a well-respected and much loved headteacher. Our thoughts are with Ruth’s family, friends and all those in the school community she served with such passion and dedication. 1/4
- NAHT calls for pause on Ofsted inspections after Ruth Perry tragedy
- Today, NAHT has taken the first step towards judicial review proceedings against Ofsted following their failure to pause inspections. You can read our full press release here: bit.ly/3ZLqIhX Members will be sent further information in due course.
- NEW: Please check your inboxes for a new message from @PaulWhiteman6 "This is about keeping education going. At every turn the govt has failed and is working against the efforts of educators." #schoolsreopeninguk #covid19 #january #schools naht.org.uk/news-and-opini…
- The decision not to pause inspections, even for a short period, was a terrible mistake. It only serves to reinforce the view that Ofsted is tin-eared and shows scant regard for the wellbeing of school leaders.
- "If you've overworked, underpaid and overregulated your workforce to the point of exhaustion and tragedy, what do you expect me to do? I'm a trade union official. I have to call it out." @PaulWhiteman6, responding to DfE criticism at @NEUnion conference.
00:00 - "I need to be plain with you ... it's likely that we will be considering strike action to join our sister unions ... you can't deny it, the size of teachers' demonstrations has brought the govt to the table." @PaulWhiteman6 tells members in our #LiveBroadcast
- Today school leaders & their teams have been planning how to re-admit more pupils on 1 June. Tomorrow they will open up again for vulnerable pupils & key workers' children. They will provide home learning & support for thousands more. And they will also read this front page.
