Section A: National with National Executive Report

2. Executive News 104

5. NUT News 1: Happy New Year
6. NUT News 34: You decide
7. Pay Sell-out. (See also NUT News 2: New Year Sales). The ATL, NASUWT, PAT, NAHT and SHA have made another agreement with Government and NEOST on pay. They have sent a joint letter to the STRB asking (instructing?) this "independent" body to recommend changes to their previous recommendations which will:

   - Abandon points 4 and 5 on the Upper Pay Spine (so no one will ever get there)

   - limit teachers' pay in order to fund the school workforce agreement

   - link pay and professional development to even more rigorous performance management

   - concede the Government's insistence that "affordability" must determine progress up the scales

   - mean that some teachers will lose their management allowances

   - the value of existing management allowances will be reduced to make the deal "affordable"

   A copy of the shameful draft agreement is available on the Division's website.
8. Workforce Reform: Blue Skies: HQ has circulated a pamphlet called "The DfES paper you weren't supposed to see". This paper was circulated to the other Teacher Unions by the DfES at a Workforce Reform meeting involving only the "signatories" to the infamous Agreement. It contains these two incredible statements:

   Interim Priorities Para 7: These should seek to exploit, more fully than is likely in phase one of the reforms, the new legal freedoms we have given schools. The legal position on school staffing is that a maintained school must (as before) have a headteacher with QTS, butbeyond that the position is very much deregulated. The school need not employ anyone else -other staff need not have QTS and staff could be brought in from agencies or come in on secondment. Gone are the days of every school having to have a full "complement" of directly employed QTS teachers. The main proviso is that, where a school does use support staff to "teach", the new Section 133 regulations mean that this person must operate under a system of supervision by a QTS teacher - but that teacher might of course be the Head.

   Para 9. So, the first priority is to talk up the "school team" and illustrate how it is both better in terms of pedagogy and also affordable within current spending levels. That will take us into essential, but presentationally uncomfortable areas, like the case for reducing overall teacher numbers to pay for a better adult:pupil ratio. There could even be targets for this, eg. (illustratively) " we aim by 2008 to train and recruit 45,000 higher level teaching assistants", rather than targets about ever increasing numbers of teachers. Above all, our future work needs to be quite graphic in terms of how teacher time needs to be ruthlessly focused on expert teaching, planning and pupil assessment, with other modes of working with pupils increasingly being taken up by a range of other adults in the school and classroom. (November 2003)

   Although Miliband has subsequently disowned the paper, the legal situation it outlines is absolutely correct. That is the position the other Unions have go us into!
9. Headway November 2003: Your vote is vital.
10. From Disability Rights Commission, Bulletin No 2, November 2003.

41. 03-192-CCU - RESULT OF BALLOT FOR A BOYCOTT OF KS1 AND KS2 NATIONAL CURRICULUM TESTS Sets out below are the results of the ballot of members on a boycott of Key Stages 1 and 2 National Curriculum Tests:

    Number of ballot papers distributed	103,729
    Total number of valid votes to be counted	35,327 (34.05 per cent)
    Number of valid "yes" votes	30,452 (86.2 per cent)
    Number of valid "no" votes	4,875 (13.8 per cent)

    There were 46 invalid papers returned. It is a large and positive response to a ballot for industrial action. For the boycott to be sanctioned the Rules required the number of "yes" votes to be at least 51,866. The number of "yes" votes as a percentage of the number of papers distributed was 29.36 per cent, short of the majority required. The Union's stringent rules have not been met, therefore, to allow a boycott to be sanctioned and there will be no boycott of Key Stages 1 and 2 tests.

61. Market Share: In Suffolk, the figure is 42.54% (LEA and VA schools).

    ---

    Section C: Division / Executive Committee:Division Secretary, Martin Goold, to report, including items from the preceding Executive Committee meeting.
62. Budget: The LEA is apparently applying for £3m+ extra grant "which would be used to help schools with the biggest financial problems". They also prepared figures for all schools comparing actual balances at each school, with a "norm" for reserves which is calculated as £20,000 + 2%. It is debatable whether this reserve would be considered prudent in a small school with either rising or falling rolls. However, it is intending to reward schools which have a low or zero budget by a share of "Transitional Support Grant" (TSG). Schools with what the LEA considers to be "more than adequate" balances will get no TSG. Do you know your school's situation? This might partially explain why the CC has announced one of the lowest increases in Council Tax in the Region, at 3.9%.
63. Section 188 notices received from Benhall, Glade (Brandon), Tollgate (BSE), Ringsfield and Wood Ley Primaries (1 fte each) for 31/8/02. 2003 Section 188s: Coupals resolved, unfortunately by a resignation. Elveden, offer withdrawn by LEA, still awaiting Governors' formal decision. More schools in the course of deciding. Smallest schools very much at risk, and closure of ASCs quoted as the cause in some cases. Concern that the LEA is trying to avoid declaring a redundancy where the "only reason" is closure of ASC.
64. SEN Audit and Workload: The Secretary has published local advice on the SEN Audit, with particular reference to the new conditions of service. He has had talks with the LEA officer responsible and is seeking more "automatic" transfer of data for the audit, from IEPs and other assessments, to avoid duplication of effort. Was sent out to schools with a FAX number, in January and circulated to Association Secretaries for distribution to schools. Also to be raised at JNC and the Workforce Working Party meetings.
65. School Organisation Plan 2003-2008: Final version now published. The JNC had accepted adopted the NUT's formal objection to the draft, pointing out the inadequacy of the sections dealing with SEN, EBD and EOTAS, including the lack of any reference to the closure of ASCs or an adequate timetable to "plan" vague promises of new PRUs, etc. The final version of the plan has removed any actual plans for SEN/EOTAS and has substituted an even more bland and vague statement, saying basically "watch this space". JS wrote to Secretary: "the formal objection raised by the JNC Teachers' Panel provoked a lively and valuable debate at the SOC meeting. As a consequence, prior to its adoption, the Plan was amended at Section 3 paragraph 17.1 and Section 4 paragraphs 5.1-5.4. The Committee felt that these changes better reflected the on-going SEN policy development work and gave a commitment to publish a revised version of the relevant sections in 2004."
66. Behaviour Support Strategy for Suffolk (LEA Paper) describes the current provision as "no direct support to schools and this represents a significant gap in provision This is a position that cannot continue". They propose a "Behaviour Support Team", based in each area and linked into the "area management structure for PRUs". Teams would be based in a PRU and line-managed by a PRU Head. BSTs would act as 'gatekeepers' to PRU provision, while "building on" the existing pyramid structure. Provision would be deployed on a pyramid basis, all receiving 2 days per week Behaviour Support Assistant time and 0.5 day per week Specialist Behaviour Support Teacher time. Some pyramids will receive more "to reflect the differing needs". Pattern of deployment within the pyramid would be negotiated between Pyramid Heads and the Area BST. Costs: £680,000 (staffing), £25,000 (Premises), £75,000 (Transport), £20,000 Supplies and Services, totalling £800,000 bid.
67. Future of ASCs: Because per-place funding of ASCs has finished and all virtually all SEN funding is to be based on SEN audit funds, our 50+ ASCs are being abolished in favour of integration into local neighbourhood schools. Some 20 schools reckon they can continue to make ASC-type provision for the children in their catchment. Another 15 schools have been selected to be Specialist Support Centres for complex MLD. The Union is promoting another school to be a SSC for dyslexia. These SSCs are thinly spread and not always in the best geographical position, as they depend on Governing Body decision, not any strategic plan from LEA. 2 SSCs will be piloting outreach work, with £50,000 extra funding each. The rest will have two years' extra protection of ASC-based funding and will not have to trial outreach work. Union concerned that, once again, expertise and resources are being abandoned, with no planned replacement strategy. Oakwood all over again? Incidentally, the new Behaviour Support strategy should mean that schools with ASCs will not get behaviour problems "dumped" on them by the LEA using the excuse that the ASC is a county resource and they have already funded the places.
68. List of SSCs to date: Sidegate; Copleston, Castle Hill Inf & Jnr; Maidstone Inf, Causton, Gorseland. Orwell High, Combs Ford P. Stowmarket M, St Gregory P. Crowfoot. Beccles M, SS Peter & Paul (Eye), Stradbroke High.
69. Workforce Reform: See separate report of meeting of WP on 3rd Feb.
70. Teachers' Panel (JNC) meeting on 29th Jan cancelled due to weather. Agenda items for JNC meeting on 14th arrived at by e-mail. Secretary's proposal for a joint statement to LEA re. workforce reform (employment on unqualified staff) has not therefore been discussed. Secretary still pursuing, by e-mail, seeking to use quotations from the "agreed" documents to seek to limit implementation towards "blue skies" objectives.
71. PRU Salary Policy: The meeting held on December 17th agreed to pay the first Special Needs Allowance to all teachers attached to PRUs (except Leadership Spine) and to produce criteria for the award of the Second SEN point. The NUT submitted a claim for Heads of Unit to be paid L8-L12 and for the creation of Deputy Heads of Unit posts. The LEA said that they would look at the current demands and job descriptions of Heads of Unit, and respond later to this claim. They point out that PRUs are now increasing in number, but the new ones a relatively small. It is possible therefore that they would agree to increase the pay of Heads of some (the larger or more complex) Units. Will link in to development of Area Support Teams.
72. Employment of Headteacher's Spouse/Partner: Queries from concerned members led to Secretary requesting clarification of current LEA policy and legal advice, particularly where a headteacher might now be solely responsible for making appointments to his/her staff. A non-committal reply received, with the promise of more thought on this later.
73. Consultation by Advertisement?: Things move so fast in Suffolk nowadays that you have to monitor "Jobs Vacant" adverts in the EADT to know what has been decided. Two interesting adverts in January have been: (1) An "Extended Schools Development Co-ordinator .... to continue planning of the extended schools programme and recruiting and managing extended Schools Development Workers to carry out local work based on school pyramids." and (2) "Senior Education Officer (Social Inclusion) ... to take the lead in implementing and developing our Behaviour Support Plan .... and ... to develop a Behaviour Support Service.". Information for JNC on both initiatives is still awaited!
74. Consultation by Press Release? Secretary learnt of the Stowmarket Primary School Review (and public consultation) via an article in the East Anglian Daily Times. NUT did not reply to the consultation as such, but made use of quotations from the document in our response to the Section 188 at Wood Ley.
75. No consultation at all? According to the local press, Suffolk CC is to make savings by (a) charging emplyees and visitors for parking at Endeavour House and (b) amending travel mileage rates. Advisory Teachers, etc., have heard rumours, passed to Secretary who approached LEA. LEA not in the know. Approach SCC, who replied that Education Dept staff are involved, so ask LEA! We have pointed out that NUT represents these workers and we expect to be involved in any discussions.
76. Implications of Working from Home: Secretary has not received response from enquiries, going back to August 2003, re. tax and business rate implications of advisory/consultant staff working from home. Secretary has written again to AA asking for action on this. James Mehmed of SCC has been working on a policy. Progress awaited.
77. Industrial Injury: Still awaiting official confirmation of the new procedure in disputed cases.
78. Important casework at Elm Tree Middle, Wood Ley and Cliff Lane. LEA was proposing to close the ASC (for Specific Learning Difficulties) at Cliff Lane, but the NUT has proposed continuing the unit, perhaps on a reduced basis, to maintain a central resource for Suffolk. On 4th Feb. LEA announced that they would not close the unit. Details awaited.
79. DRAFT Term Dates, 2005-2006: Suffolk will be following recommendations of the LGA's Standing Committee of the School Year and have consulted other regional LEAs. They are sticking to the traditional pattern: Norfolk is still considering a 6-term alternative.
