Below tax threshold and significantly below minimum wage-meaning DfE is advocating breaking employment laws.

The Tory scum don’t worry about breaking laws.

£6000 per what? Per year? Over the summer? To 'top up' in areas that have been missed out due to the pandemic?

Don't get me wrong Williamson is an utter berk and one of the worst education secretaries of all time - but it wasn't clear in that vid what he actually meant.

It’s a one off payment that an average primary school will receive that Mr. Williamson has just said schools need to use to provide the best learning opportunities for all children.

Mine is an average (ish) primary school and that grant would equates to £14.29 per child.

This is from the DfE who moved the national census day from October to January meaning schools were not funded for free school me kids who went into that category over that period. It lost my school £13k in funding to support the most vulnerable.

We’ve also spent way over 6k on additional cleaning materials over the past year that can’t be recouped.

I’m not sharing this stuff for sympathy, it’s the children who are getting shafted.

Starting salary for a Teacher is £26k plus a LA pension which is worth about 40 percent of salary.

It’s not great is it, when you consider we expect teachers to prepare the next generation for us. You couldn’t pay me enough to do a teacher’s job.

Definitely a vocation, I could not do it, teachers get a bit more than nurses, average graduate starting salary is £29K.

I assume he meant they could top up with extra tuition hours, not that he described it very well (he seems unable to understand or communicate anything about his brief).

Unrelated, I logged in today from a new computer today and Google took me to the old site. They're all banging on about how teachers are lazy, shouldn't be prioritised for the vaccine, have done nothing for the last year, blah, blah, blah. Some things don't change!

I had a quick squint over there and thankfully one or two from this side of the PS fence have gone over to try and spread some common sense.

I was listening to my Mrs today. Although she is special needs qualified she is not formally a music teacher and she was attempting to provide a guitar lesson to a special needs child who thrives on music. It wasn't a formally planned lesson and instead was just suggested as a boost for this child at this particular time. All this was attempted through the medium of Google Classroom which brings its own challenges even for the most stable of pupils. The child absolutely smashed it, fair play to him. It was about as far away from being sat at home watching Bargain Hunt as you can possibly imagine.

The standards in teaching these days just like the standards in the police is extremely low.

They need to do what they are paid to do and that is get back to work and stop complaining about Covid. Thankfully power station, oil refinery workers haven’t got the same mentality, otherwise we’d all be fu*ked.

Are you based in Wales Glyn? I assume that the school has spent the extra money on cleaning due to covid? and the school cleaners are contracted out to a private firm, my job is an area supervisor for Vale Of Glamorgan Cleaning dept and in Wales there is a covid grant to pay for extra cleaning supplies, virucidal, germicidals etc which we have provided for all schools in the vale, we also have biomisting machines (which look like ghostbuster backpacks lol)which we got out to schools and basically disinfect which gets paid for through the fund. We have seen the schools where there are private companies providing the cleaning service found wanting during this pandemic. Naturally my view is all schools should remain under the authority of local govt for cleaning (bloody socialist in me innit), but hey it's 2020's and it's a competitive market out there and schools have their individual budgets nowadays.

Don't get me wrong for some small schools say where the caretaker can double up as a cleaner it's not really feasable to employee further cleaners and our overheads are slightly more (pensions for cleaning staff, sick pay etc, which private co's dont have to cover)

 

[Gwyn737]

No, mate. In South East England.

The LA do subcontract but the service has been a bit mixed in the past so we do it in house.

No COVID grant for us unfortunately. You could only claim some cost if you were already in a deficit budget :roll:

Totally irrelevant, so do you suggest paying teachers the same as pl footballers lol
