Getting stuck into making a difference in your community is a great idea if you're not sure where to go next 🙂 There's loads of evidence that volunteering, campaigning, caring or working with charities gives you skills, experience and a better understanding of yourself 💪

This is very poor ☹️
Teachers get 4 weeks on full pay on maternity leave, followed by 2 at 90% before dropping to half pay. Most supermarkets we looked at offer 26 weeks full pay - except Lidl which has just moved to 28 weeks full pay

This isn’t meant to dampen what is a really good pay deal for schools, but government saying it’s ‘fully funded’ *doesn’t* mean they are paying the full 5.5% Schools will be expected to use up the supposed £600m ‘headroom’ they have too
Breaking: Schools will get £1.2bn extra towards the cost of the 5.5% pay rise for teachers and the increase for support staff, DfE confirms BUT they will be expected to contribute £600m from 'headroom' in budgets estimated by the DfE earlier this year https://t.co/q1JTvtovxQ

The plan has already costed likely millions of pounds and lots of hours in staff time. Our FOI found 40 DfE civil servants were working on the policy https://t.co/rOYi0pFN54
schoolsweek.co.uk
Government criticised for committing 'platoon of civil servants' to policy unlikely to come to fruition
Reeves says govt has scrapped the Advanced British Standard championed by the last government - would have cost £200m next year
