hmmm.... the good news is that Teachers have got a (roughly) inflation equalling pay rise (stabilising their current real income)...

the bad news is the Department of Education is requiring schools to find the first 1% (of the 3.5% and 3%) award each from their own budgets - which to be clear is essentially *another* cut to the schools budget - whatever the talk that may arise of 'efficiency gains', its a cut!

Austerity continues!
