Keep the comments coming - please .. legacy bias and behaviours are still out there and we should expose them rather than put up with them !
Mmm wonder what it would look like if we balloted SBL’s on terms and conditions vs pay vs workload vs senior leader peer pay review???? Wonder if the strategy for well resourced, efficient schools means paying the highly skilled professionals who make it happen fairly?
Well this is the first xmas hols I didn’t switch on the laptop in a few years! Got to say I feel refreshed… and I have almost flagged (not cleared) the inbox! Hope fellow SBLs switched off too 😊
I love my job, I love my sector, I love making a difference. I hate working in an uphill battle, I hate trying to making the books balance, I hate the uncertainty, I hate seeing colleagues overworked and underpaid. BUT we will survive

Unfunded pay rises = this year.
Increased energy costs = this year.
Highest inflation in 41 years = this year.
Recruitment targets missed (again) = this year.
Next year is too late for this year’s children

37% increase since last year! It’s time the school sector took this seriously. 👿👿#WomenEd
💰The gender pay gap for secondary school leaders grew by 37 per cent last year, a new analysis of @educationgovuk workforce data shows #EqualPayDay

Anybody using software for contract management?! Ps hope you are all okay don’t know about you but I have aged 30 years in the last few weeks! What a start to the term!
It’s that time of the year when I have my new stationary, clear emails, positive mental attitude, a smile 😃……..I give it until Friday 😂😂
Every time I look at budget projections lately I keep thinking of the saying “ square pegs in round holes “ 🙄 #sbltwitter
Having been a business professional in education for 10 years I feel incredibly proud of our profession. I am worried about the amazing people leaving, I see an increase in inexperienced professionals taking their place and unable to deliver. What is the answer?
Mmmmm so SBL’s who sit on senior leadership teams influencing strategic direction and have been a key part of keeping education running. Will now under the new pay rise for teaching staff be paid on average inline with early career teachers…..seriously?

Here is a table with the new salary figures on for anyone number crunching this morning to assess the impact of the pay award.

Funding for mainstream schools is increasing by 1.9% per pupil in 2023-24, but @cyclingkev @NEUnion says ‘the government needs to recognise the changed circumstances since the 2021 Spending Review and put more money into our children’s futures’

Saw this posted on FB and thought what a great idea! Helping out parents who put pressure on other parents to buy gifts but also massively helping with marketing the school too with lots of positive reviews! #WinWin #EOY #teachergifts
Yesterday I watched a policy writer in the government speak about the value of our profession in the new white paper strategy. He missed the point….the biggest barrier is still a recognition of the role in EVERY school both in pay, SLT status and CPD access.
