Sharon Lewis Case: NASUWT secured a record payout of £280K for Sharon who was severely assaulted by a student and left unable to teach again as a result of the physical and emotional trauma. Had she not been a member of a union and could not have afforded to fund her own case, the maximum payment she could have received would have been £1,000.

STRB & Pay Award: NASUWT are committed to trying to maintain the 2.3% for each of the next two years which was awarded last year. The economic crisis is making our arguments over pay more and more difficult and we will have to fight hard to maintain our position.

Teacher Pay Scales 2008-10

Is Your School Breaking The Law?

APP (Assessing Pupil Performance): this is now being used to massively increase the workload of teachers. It is NOT a statutory requirement, therefore optional, and it is supposed to be done 3 or 4 times a year with a small sample (3 or 4) of students. If you’ve had any bad experiences with this please email me geoff.branner@nasuwt.net so that I can forward them to the General Secretary who has promised to raise them with the DCSF (Department for Children, Schools and Families).
