🚨NEW LAUNCH
1,180 schools have lost more than £1 million in real terms since 2010.
£1 million isn’t just a number.
It’s schools from Lambeth to Lancaster all missing vital resources for their pupils and staff.

“SATs fail all children, not just the 38% who will start secondary school having been told they have not ‘reached the expected standard’. A disproportionate number of those pupils will have SEND or come from disadvantaged backgrounds.*
Breaking: Key stage 2 SATs headline results are out
62% met expected standard in reading, writing and maths, up from 61%
📖 Reading 75%, up from 74%
➕ Maths 74%, up from 73%

It’s time to take action to fund fair pay and stop school cuts. Together we can win for our pupils.
But first, we need to check your address is correct. Then we can send you your formal ballot paper when the time comes.

We are preparing to run a formal ballot to stand up for a fully funded pay offer and to stop school cuts. Our schools cannot afford to take a £1.1bn cut in their budgets.
But first we need you to update your details at myneu.org.uk to make sure that your address is up to date.
Watch Daniel explain what we need you to do 👇

Research shows working class children have less access to the arts 🗣️
Only one day left to contribute to the Curriculum and Assessment Review. It's time to shake up a system which currently squeezes access.

Trumps victory should send a very clear messege to the Labour government.
"Make a material improvement to the lives of working people or else..."
Far Right populism is on the insurgency.
Trade Unions need to take it seriously. We need to fight racism and make the case for working people.

We are so proud to have so many members that attended today’s demo to stop Tommy Robison!
We showed that educators are against the far right and that solidarity will beat hate. #StopTommyRobinson

“I was a teacher. When I lined children up for dinner - black, white, Jewish, Muslim - do you know what they did? Hold hands. Our children show us the type of future we all want to see. Let’s stand up to the racists, and build a society fit for all our children.”

Today we are so proud of our members who stood against the far right.
Educators and trade unionists can defeat racism and hatred when we stand together.

As students prepare to receive their exam results, listen to head teacher Robin on how we could change assessment to better reflect young people's abilities.
"We have a job to argue in favour of those alternatives where they benefit teachers, and pupils and improve the working conditions."👉 spoti.fi/3SNA7Vo
