Email Address For NUT School Reps

Reps are invited to inform us of their email address, for our records. You may choose your home or work email address....whichever is the most convenient for you.

We hope to gradually switch to electronic communications rather than filling your pigeonhole with more paper!

Best wishes,
Peter Smith

ACADEMY AND NATIONAL CHALLENGE TRUST STATUS

At the start of term, two Newham secondary schools, The Royal Docks and Eastlea, were presented with the disturbing news that they were facing a change in status as the Authority wanted them to become respectively an academy and a national challenge trust school. Since September the Association has helped organise a public meeting to oppose the academy and represented our concerns to the Authority. Recently, successful indicative ballots were conducted at both schools to demonstrate overwhelming support for discontinuous, sustained strike action to oppose compulsory redundancies and school closures which could arise from privatisation of both schools. Currently, formal ballots are underway at both schools and results will be declared shortly. I will keep you posted as developments occur.
