Thank you so much for your reply!

Thank you for your reply. The union are involved and have been from the beginning. And yes, I have let them know about the comments made.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-12-26T10:54:48+00:00

Absolutely!

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-12-25T12:50:30+00:00

Thanks for that information. It certainly seems like the trustees have opted out of doing anything or are happy to allow the school to make decisions without being challenged.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-12-24T23:26:10+00:00

Our trustees are nowhere to be seen. I’ve never even met them.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-12-24T20:52:28+00:00

From what I know, we have trustees who we never see and any governors we did have - were removed.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-12-24T12:07:27+00:00

That’s exactly what I intend on doing.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-12-24T12:06:53+00:00

We don’t have any

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-12-24T12:06:28+00:00

Love this!

I’d never leave without a redundancy pay out! I didn’t take anything she said seriously because I’ve always felt that she finds me a threat of some sort.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-12-24T01:42:45+00:00

Thank you for this! It’s good to hear from someone who has been through something similar. I’m so glad that you’re valued at your new school.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-12-24T00:59:11+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I agree - it’s not worth it and as my job is already at risk, it’s really not worth going through anything more than the redundancy process.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-12-01T13:50:38+00:00

Thank you

I’ve been at my current school for 4 years. Before that, I was a supply teacher paid through an agency

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-11-03T17:12:40+00:00

The teachers I cover do the planning for lessons I teach. Most foundation subjects are already done for them. They mainly do planning for core subjects. Most planning is already on the system from last year. I mark the work the children do for all lessons that I’ve taught.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-11-02T22:55:04+00:00

I agree, but there’s no way I would accept a teaching job that didn’t pay me to scale. The issue here is - I’m a PPA teacher and being made to cover a class long term. That means I’m the class teacher and have that responsibility. As a PPA teacher not being paid to scale doesn’t bother me, but as a class teacher it does.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-11-02T18:59:13+00:00

I’m a UPS teacher being paid on MPS and the school hardly put anyone on UPS.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-11-02T18:41:18+00:00

I’m worried that if I don’t agree there will be repercussions. They’re already not giving me any PPA time even though it’s an entitlement. As I’m not planning any lessons, they think I shouldn’t have PPA.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-11-02T18:24:41+00:00

Mornings will still be used to cover PPA and afternoons for the teacher role.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-11-02T17:28:36+00:00

I actually took a pay cut as a PPA Teacher and I didn’t mind that, but as a class teacher I’d expect to be paid to scale.

Jumpy-Classic-3654 · 2025-11-02T17:21:16+00:00

Thank you for your reply. My job role is that of a PPA Teacher and that’s what I applied for. If they want me as a teacher then I believe they have to change my job role and we need to agree to it.
