Since 2015 schools have lost almost £3 billion in budget cuts and are still facing real term cuts putting the Education sector into crisis. The subject continues to be a hot topic in the upcoming General Election and now parents, teachers and children are standing up against the cuts staging their own protests across the UK. During the week the three main parties presented their manifestos Education was the third most talked about subject on Twitter.  

With just a few days to go until voting day, a poll carried out by YouGov commissioned by the National Union of Teachers (NUT) found 43 per cent of parents (two in five) with children aged 4-18 consider education and school funding an important factor when choosing who to vote for. Of those who prioritised education, 83 per cent said they were more likely to vote for a candidate who will "support tackling education and school funding."  

Only Brexit (51 per cent) and Health (50 per cent) are bigger issues for parents when considering who to cast their vote to. The poll uncovered a high level of awareness about school funding problems, with 8 per cent saying they believed schools were in financial difficulty. Four in five parents (20 per cent) had been approached by the school for an additional financial contribution to their school.  

Teachers poll
In a separate poll consisting of teachers only 60 per cent said class sizes have become larger and 36 per cent have seen teacher numbers decrease in their school since the last General Election in 2015. Over a third (36 per cent) reported the number of teaching posts in their school had reduced over the past two years, with 28 per cent saying the number had remained the same, and 17 per cent stating it had increased. Sixty-two per cent of respondents said their school had lost teaching assistants, and 38 per cent of teachers said the range of subjects available to pupils had decreased since 2015. Forty-six per cent said curriculum breadth had stayed the same, with 9 per cent reporting the subject range had increased.   Every parent, teacher and school staff member knows the damaging effect a persistent lack of money has for the quality and type of education schools can give to children and young people. Without sufficient funds, schools will be forced to increase class sizes, drop subjects from the curriculum, or cut staff numbers. Schools are cutting spending on children with special educational needs. Buildings are going unrepaired and begging letters to parents for money are all too common practice.  

Kevin Courtney, General Secretary of the NUT, the largest teachers’ union, said “The findings of this YouGov poll point unambiguously to a growing crisis in our schools. Parents and teachers are already seeing the devastating effects of underfunding and the largest school cuts for a generation. The polls confirm that the NUT’s campaign on school funding is closely aligned to the concerns of both parents and teachers." “Politicians of all parties should be aware that parents are saying school funding will influence their vote." “Education cuts never heal and we as a country can do better. On June 8, parents, teachers and other concerned voters must consider what is most needed for schools – and which party best fits that aspiration. At this General Election it is time more than ever to vote for education.”  

Education Secretary Justine Greening has announced schools across England are to receive a £2.4 billion cash injection to cope with struggling school places and building repairs.

 Since 2010 nearly 735,000 additional school places have been created, however a further 230,000 are needed between 2017 and 2020 to keep pace with a rising school-age population. The new funding will also support the extra classrooms in existing grammar schools, this is separate to the plans of . £1.4bn will be spent on improving 1,500 school buildings at grammars, academies, primaries and secondaries. It will pay to fix roofs, heating and other general repairs to improve the condition of schools. It will not be spent on or resources such as stationary and text books which many local authorities asked for.

However the National Audit Office recently said that it would cost £6.7bn to get all schools in England into an acceptable state of repair. Headteachers have argued this will do nothing to improve the ‘black-hole’ in the day-to-day running costs. They have been warning for some time now of having to cut staff, clubs and subjects because of . Something that is inevitable after Chancellor Philip Hammond failed to give more cash per pupil to existing schools in his budget. Russell Hobby leader of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) said “This is money that was already allocated to building new places and so it does nothing to help fill the £3bn black hole in day-to-day school spending.”

Justine Greening said the £2.4bn allocated is part of more than £24bn the government has committed to investing in schools between 2015 to 2021.

Education Secretary Justine Greening said: “Our Plan for Britain is to build a fairer society, with a good school place available for every child. This £2.4 billion investment, together with our proposals to create more good school places, will help ensure every young person has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. The £2.4 billion allocated today is part of more than £24 billion the government has committed to investing in the school estate between 2015 to 2021.”    

Two teaching unions; National Union of Teachers (NUT) and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) have voted to form a super union by a vote of more than 2-1. The results show 97.2 per cent of NUT members voted for the merger and 2.8 per cent voted against. In the ATL 72.8 per cent members voted for and 26.8 per cent voted against. It will be called National Education Union (NEU) and will become the largest union in Europe for teachers and education support staff having more than 450,000 members. To tackle the issues facing the education sector and fight the government’s education cuts, strength in numbers will be vital.    

Until a single leader is elected in 2023 Mary Bousted and Kevin Courtney the general secretaries of the ATL and NUT, respectively, will drive the NEU as joint general secretaries. Ms Bousted said the merger was a "historic moment". "With nearly half a million members, we will speak with a stronger voice on behalf of education professionals and the children, young people and adults they support," she said. "The government will need to listen when we speak on the key issues facing education - funding cuts, excessive workloads, the recruitment and retention crisis, the chaotic exam reform and accountability." Mr Courtney said: “This is a fantastic result for members of both unions and for education. For too long, governments have played divide and rule amongst education unions. Today marks the beginning of the end of that.” "The NEU will be a game-changer in the education landscape and I am delighted to be jointly leading it forward over the coming months and years." Russell Hobby, general secretary of the NAHT is agreement with the new super union saying it would create a ‘powerful voice within education.’  

The NEU will officially form on 1^st September 2017 and for the first time it will be a union for teachers and ‘allied professionals,’ which means it will allow unqualified teachers to be members, something the NUT does not currently allow. Both secretaries have a clear vision and say the NEU will work with government to tackle some of the critical issues like workload and recruitment. However they will not agree to the expansion of grammar schools and will seek legal advice if the government tries to open new grammar schools without a vote in parliament to overturn the ban. One thing is for sure, industrial action will be stronger and have a bigger impact due to the large numbers. Courtney said strike action was “not what any set of workers wants to do” but “if push comes to shove, then we’re in a place where industrial action will be stronger. Governments should listen to that and not put us in a position where that happens.”

Education Secretary has announced sex and relationships education will be made compulsory in all of England’s schools. Up until now, this has only been compulsory in council-run secondary schools.

The current statutory guidance for sex and relationships education was introduced in 2000, however times have changed and seventeen years later it is out of date; failing to address cyber bullying and ‘sexting’. With the emergence of new technology that is easily accessed staying safe online is a key priority for both schools and parents.   

As part of the new move children as young as four in primary schools will be taught about safe and healthy relationships. While children in secondary schools will be taught in both sex and relationships. "Schools will have flexibility over how they deliver these subjects, so they can develop an integrated approach that is sensitive to the needs of the local community; and, as now, faith schools will continue to be able to teach in accordance with the tenets of their faith."

Ms Greening said: "Parents will continue to have a right to withdraw their children from sex education.       

The change makes the subject mandatory in all schools, including academies, independent schools and religious free schools and extends the subject to include relationships and modern phenomena such as internet porn and sexting.

One in four teenagers are ‘almost constantly’ online
Politicians, school leaders, parents, unions and campaigners have all welcomed the move which has been subject to years of campaigning. Former education secretary Prime Minister Theresa May’s cabinet reshuffle. Russell Hobby, general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), said: "We welcome the announcements made today.” "We have long advocated age-appropriate sex education and PSHE, for all pupils in all schools, to help prepare young people for the challenges they will encounter in their adult lives and the current challenges they face beyond the school gates."

Sandra Horley, Chief Executive of the charity Refuge said the landmark decision could help reduce domestic violence for future generations. She said: "SRE provides young people with the knowledge they need to develop relationships based on equality and respect, how to recognise domestic violence, and how to seek support when needed.” "We believe domestic violence incidences will fall if the next generation is equipped with this knowledge from a young age. Today is a great first step towards a better and safer future for young people." 

Everyday schools rely on Supply Teachers to fulfil unexpected vacancies that arise. For over 10 years London Teaching Pool Ltd have built a reputable service in supplying teachers at very short notice to schools across London and the Home Counties. We rely on our supply teachers to consistently be skilled, reliable and deliver a quality service to all of the schools they are assigned to. The title ‘Supply Teacher’ often has negative perceptions associated to it, these include, having an ‘easy life’, being ‘job hoppers’, hold ‘no responsibilities’ and require ‘no planning’. We know this is completely the opposite and in fact supply teaching is far more daunting and stressful than it looks. Walking into an unknown school, into an unknown class and not knowing what planning or work or behaviour problems are ahead of you – it is not an easy way to make a living.  

Supply teachers are an essential part of the education system in the UK; without them the system would collapse. Schools prefer to recruit the same supply teacher particular those that left with a positive impression and often enough are offered much longer term and permanent contracts.  

Here are our top ten tips on being a first-class Supply Teacher

 1. Work closely with your agency

Choose a recruitment consultancy who specialise in teaching roles. It wise to stick to one agency where you can build a relationship with one consultant. Here at London Teaching Pool Ltd we provide supply for Primary, Secondary and SEN roles across London and the Home Counties. Each one of our 40 Education consultants are committed to providing a first-class service ensuring your best interests are always looked after. You will meet with your consultant and communicate regularly to ensure your needs are always met.

2. Be ready and flexible

Schools often rely on supply teachers due to a last minute absence. This means you will often be approached with little or no notice, for example, you may receive a call from your agency at 7:30am about a role that starts at 8:30am. It is important you are always ready and have a degree of flexibility to ensure you gain access to as many opportunities as possible. Let your agency know when you register that you are happy to be called with little notice. It is also important to keep your agency informed with your availability and to call them as well as them contacting you.    

3. Do NOT be late

Lateness of supply teachers is the biggest turn off for schools where timetables are extremely strict. Being late not only makes a bad impression to senior leaders and hiring managers but it will also set you off on the wrong foot with the children you are about to teach. By arriving on time or even better early, you will have the chance to familiarise yourself with the school and the other teachers. It will also mark you out as someone a school can rely on. Ensure you plan ahead before you leave and if you are going to be late inform your consultant so that the school can kept up to date.  

4. Do your research

As soon as you know what school you will be working at, find out from the agency if there is any more information they can provide you with. For example, are there any pupils with special needs that you might need to prepare for or who may require a teaching assistant present? Additionally, check out the school’s website as this can often give you a flavour of the school and tell you if it has any particular specialisms.    

5. Dress to impress

Make sure you always have a professional, clean, ironed work outfit ready the night before. It takes less than 10 seconds to make a first impression, so make sure your clothing sends the right message. Having an outfit ready means less hassle in the morning when you receive a last-minute assignment. Make sure you stand out to ensure you have the best chance of being remembered and called back for future work.     

6. Pack an Emergency Supply Kit

Sometimes the teacher you are about to fill in for may not have left any notes to follow especially if it is an unplanned cover i.e. sickness. It is essential you are prepared for such scenarios by bringing your own resources and activity ideas along with you. As a supply teacher it is always good to have something up your sleeves for the unexpected and always have a back-up plan.  

7. Before you leave

Leave a handover note for the regular class teacher as they will be in the dark about what their class has been doing. Always ensure the classroom is tidy and everything is put back as you found it when you arrived.    

8. Find out about routines

The start of the day is crucial to how well the rest of the day will go, so make sure that you are aware of the daily routine including as fire alarm drills. Children will be reassured those routines have not changed and that you are in command and will prevent you from being caught out whilst in the middle of teaching.    

9. Get to know the class

Before you start the lesson spend five minutes getting to know the children in your class. Introduce yourself and why you are there and go around the class asking all children to say their name and something about them i.e. their hobbies / favourite toy.    

10. Gratitude and feedback

It is courteous to thank the head teacher on your last day and let them know how you got on. As long as you have performed to your best this will greatly increase your chances of being asked back. It is also important to speak to your consultant and let them know if you would be interested in working there again so they can relay this to their client. Be open and honest, when we know what works for you and what does not we are able to tailor the work to you and ensure that your needs are met as well as those of the school. If you are unhappy, do not bottle it up, be honest about your experiences good or bad, we can and will listen and adapt things to help you.      

Supply teaching is a fantastic career choice, one that can provide flexibility and the ability to increase your experience in a short space of time, this is why in particular Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) are encouraged undertake such roles. Hopefully by following these tips you will give yourself the best chance of success. Good luck!

The lack of positive role models in primary schools is becoming a worry as one in four still have no male teacher, the equivalent to nearly a million primary school children not having a male teacher. Statistics from the Department of Education show 26% of teachers in England are men - accounting for 38% of secondary and 15% of primary school teachers. Despite Government efforts to get male teachers into the workforce, women still dominate the force. There were 31,600 male primary teachers at the last count, compared to 151,200 females – one man for every six women in the role. That rises to one man for every four women in headteacher roles. And there were 3,727 primary schools in England without any male teachers at all, up from 3,680 in 2014.  

At such a young age boys often fall behind and find it hard to catch up and the imbalance of male staff could be to blame. Dr Martin Robb, senior lecturer with The Open University, said: “It’s important to have a gender balanced workforce for all kinds of reasons, but the gender of the worker isn’t actually the most important thing for boys.” “And other factors - such as personal qualities of consistency, care, respect, etc - are deemed to be much more significant by boys themselves. “A range of commentators has argued that the absence of fathers and the allied absence of male role models from the lives of many young men are key factors in their involvement in crime and in educational under-achievement.” “But consistent carers are more important than male models for boys.”  

Top 10 areas with no male teachers

1. North Yorkshire
2. Derbyshire
3. Hampshire
4. Lancashire
5.  Essex
6.  Hertfordshire
7. Cumbria
8. Norfolk
9. Surrey
10. Staffordshire

The Department for Education said: “Our priority is getting the brightest and best teachers into classrooms, including male staff of all levels.” “That is why we are spending millions of pounds on recruiting high-quality teachers.” "We can be proud of the fact that teaching is an increasingly popular profession, with more young men and women embracing the opportunity to inspire and shape the lives of the next generation."

UK based charity World Wide Education Project (WWEP) is encouraging all teachers to try ‘Naked Teaching’ on Friday 30^th September to raise awareness of children around the world who go tomakeshift schools in slums, in refugee camps, under trees and under bridges.

Naked Teaching is nothing dodgy! Honest!

It is an opportunity for teachers to experience what it is like to teach without any resources. It’s a chance for teachers to stick the supplies back in the store cupboard, unleash their inner inventiveness and undress their lessons. You could even take the kids outside and lose the walls and the chairs too.

To help you get started, try one of these 5-minute resource free teaching strategies that can be adapted to teach just about anything: (But beware – as Naked Teaching goes, the following ideas are hard-core because they don’t even involve paper or pens.)

Nina Jackson, a teacher who helped to come up with the campaign, advises: "Connecting and developing purposeful learning relationships with the children is key. Good eye contact and a great smile always works. It exudes safety, support and confidence. Even if you’re feeling nervous yourself!"

The charity hopes to raise awareness and funds for many impoverished children around the world. To donate go to justgiving.com/ww-ep

Will you be brave enough to strip down, boldly join in with #NakedTeaching and #NakedTeachingDay and share your pics and ideas with us. 

If you are not working on the day you can still take part in other ways such as no TV or radio, not using any forms of transport, or even going as bold as not using your mobile phone!

Go on....give it go!

With the new academic term fully under way, for many teachers this period can be very stressful. With work/life balance has been highlighted as the biggest reasons why teachers are leaving the profession or even refraining from entering the profession. Being a teacher is one of the most rewarding professions and yes it does come with stress and pressure.However an exhausted teacher is no good to anyone, especially to yourself. Here are our top 10 tips on ensuring you remain as powerful and as best as you can be throughout the academic year.

1. Keep your to do list up to date

This is one of the biggest stress relievers and really helps you to plan and structure your week. Best of all it feels great to be super organised and tick off completed tasks!  

2. Talk to other teachers and seek advice

A problem shared is a problem halved, so do not keep it to yourself. There are experts in the field who can help you. Make time to get to know other teachers and build yourself a network you can rely on.

3. Take one day at a time and take time to reflect

No Teaching role is the same, every class, every student and every school is different. It takes time to build up experience and know what methods work for you. Allow yourself to fail and learn, it is important you take time to reflect so you can improve yourself next time. 

4. Communicate with parents

Getting parents on your side will be one of your biggest strengths. Parents love to be acknowledged, simply keeping them informed, engaged and even a simple smile will work wonders. 

5. Respect and reward your students

Students will only respect you if you respect them. Positive recognition is known to encourage positive behaviour. When providing negative feedback always start with something positive to break the ice.

6. Keep it fun in the classroom

Learning is fun so make it fun! Decorate the classroom, crack a joke, start and finish the class with a song – whatever you do make it interactive. Your students will appreciate it and be motivated to come into your class.

7. Avoid negativity

Surround yourself with positive people. There will always be people who moan about work – simply avoid them! Negativity will drag you down and make you feel unhappy. Positive vibes will rub off on you so make sure you are around those. 

8. Do not try to be perfect

Nobody is perfect and you will fail trying to be. Just be yourself.

9. Make time for yourself

You are a human being and we all need to recharge our batteries. It is great to plan something you can look forward to i.e. a holiday, cinema or a night out. If you find yourself having a tough day, go for a walk at lunch or read a book - do something to take your mind off work. Eating and sleeping well is crucial to the delivery of your work. Try not to go to bed with unfinished business on your mind. Your thoughts will race and your sleep is likely to suffer so get into the habit of writing down your worries before you go to bed.    

10. Remember why you are doing the job

When the going gets tough remember you decided on a teaching a career in the first place. Keep special gifts you have been given, think about all the happy times you have had and the difference you have made to all your students.  Always remember you are leading the class and you are the best person for the job. You can’t control everything, or everyone. Nonetheless, you can really excel at what you’re doing as long as you remember to make time for yourself and time to relax.

You’re doing a great job, keep it up!

A job as a primary teacher is unquestionably one of the most rewarding careers you can have. You have the ability to inspire young children during some of the most important years of their development. You day to day role is exciting, varied and far from boring. The most satisfying aspect of being a primary school teacher is knowledge that what you are teaching these children are concepts and nurturing their naturally inquisitive minds. You are setting the foundations needed to develop the skills that they will continue to build on for the rest of their lives.      

What does primary teaching involve?

The impact you can have as a primary teacher is immense. You can set children up to succeed from the start, making sure they all have access to a brilliant education.

Primary teachers work with children between the ages of 3 and 11 and are required to teach all of the subjects which are in the national curriculum. This means that anybody looking for a primary teaching role needs to have good, basic knowledge of all these subjects for key stages 1 and 2. You will also be responsible for their educational, social and emotional development while in your care.

As a primary school teacher you will need to be creative, well organised, good at planning and have a lot of patience as working with young children can be very challenging. As well as this you need to be reasonably fit and be able to communicate effectively in written and spoken English. Responsibilities of a primary school teacher include (but not limited to):

• Plan lessons, prepare teaching materials and then teaching what you have organised
• Marking and assessing work which you have assigned
• Working and liaising with other industry professionals • Attending staff meetings and any training courses which may be required
• Manage class behaviour
• Discuss children's progress and other relevant matters with parents and carers
• Work with other professionals like education psychologists and social workers • Attend meetings and do training organise outings, social activities and sports events
• You will need to be motivated, committed and a good sense of humour

Each day is varied as you will be carrying our activities from developing young pupils’ literacy, to teaching them about maths, science, arts, PE, music, and basic computing skills.

Your teacher training will help you build and use all the skills and creativity you need to succeed in the classroom. Remember to always talk to experienced teachers and practitioners as you discover how to create and deliver inventive and engaging lessons. After all sharing best practise is the key to great success.

Teaching the same class over the course of a year means you can gain an in-depth understanding of your pupils’ characters and different skills. This gives you a big responsibility to ensure every child gets the most out of their education – offering unbeatable job satisfaction as you see how they change and grow as individuals.

The opportunity to move between year groups and different stages of learning just adds to the variety of the job – and as your teaching skills flourish, so can your career. As a great primary school teacher, you could progress to key stage head, a position in a senior leadership team, or even become a head teacher. In doing so, you could use your vision and experience to make a difference to the entire school.  

What Qualification are needed for primary teaching?

The teaching profession looks for the highest calibre of candidates. To become a primary teacher you will need to have completed the Initial Teacher Education or Training (ITET) and gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). In addition to this you will also need:

• A-C GCSE grades in Maths, English & Science

• Enhanced background checks by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) which must be clear of any convictions You can study for a university degree and gain QTS at the same time by doing one of the following courses:

• BA (Hons) degree or BSc (Hons) degree with QTS

• Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree course In addition to being a qualified teacher, having classroom experience is extremely powerful. Whether it be day supply or temporary work placements all the experience you gain will help to become a higher quality candidate.

Working hours and conditions

A typical working week for a full-time teacher is an average 37 hours a week, with typical class times starting between 8.30am and 9.15am and finishing around 3.15pm to 4pm. Outside of classroom hours, teachers normally will be planning lessons, marking work and also taking part in activities, like as parents' evenings and outings. Teachers normally work 39 weeks a year split over three school term.
