    Whether you agree or disagree on individual things there is a clear difference of principles between them.

    Smith only has his personal motivations as his concern. He evens pretends to support most of Corbyn's ideas because he thinks that will attract them to him. Whether we like it, agree with it, or believe it unsustainable.. Corbyn has set a different agenda that a lot of people want to be a part...

    You'd struggle to find anyone that said PFI has not been a disaster for NHS. Apart from those that have financially benefitted from it.

    20 year deal even on current terms means little access to additional revenue. So where does money come from other than tickets? SISU? And if SISU go then new owners have same problem. I would have thought that a potential new owner would prefer a shorter term deal they can address in due course...

    Things that annoy you

    These dicks that wear vests my 8 year old daughter would normally fit in to.

    To be fair to Corbyn if you look at his voting record he votes in relation to his principles not the party whip. Rather have a politician like that. Corbyn voted against Iraq War, welfare bill, Trident, removing the disability allowance. Smith either voted for or abstained completely. Whether...

    I set ours to a max of 30 in our dept. If we get new kids (which happens frequently) I move about to balance it out. Try and have small numbers in bottom sets but hard to do sometimes, especially in Year 7 & 8

    Well that is certainly not the case in my school. In fact it is almost the reverse with the exception of classes split into ability. And quite often option subjects with large numbers are streamed by ability.... There are no TA's now in most schools, the Tory budget freeze (which in essence is...

    It is used still, but more often than not you get all sorts of top ups, TLR payments, recruitment & retention bonus, and as academy chains get bigger they are moving staff over to their own pay scales. It's mostly used now for teachers on their first 2/3 years by which point they are moved to a...

    Do you think that if ACL hadn't got the ball rolling on that admin that SISU would have ended up doing it?

    name 1 thing we have to be positive about

    I suppose if you supported say 30 yrs... You've at least had something to celebrate... Feel sorry for the poor fuckers that have only supported 11/12 years...

    Salaries appear to be quite the hush subject in some schools. I think that if a school want a Maths/Sci teacher that badly they will pretty much pay what they're asking for irrespective of other staff salaries... However this can cause friction as sometimes a 'new' maths teacher might have...

    It seems to be an issue with maths and science specifically. Last year we put out a PE job and Maths job at same time - PE got 75 applications, Maths got 1. Even teach first try and send people in to do Maths where it isn't their degree specialism. They think educated to A Level will suffice...

    Them still obviously because we are going to improve too :D

    name 1 thing we have to be positive about

    I predict they will reissue the bond to defer the payout... However that works exactly. How are they going to muster £30+ million when last year they made nothing?? That's a lot of money to make in not a lot of time really.

    We don't have the personnel really for this formation so I'd change it.

    New Trust Statement

    I'm not happy with SISU. If we are to have new owners great.... I don't want them to be Wasps. Would you??

    name 1 thing we have to be positive about

    Evidently Wasps weren't keen on the deal they did... They got rid of it at the earliest opportunity.
