The fact we can't tell if teacher salaries are meeting minimum wage laws shows we have deep problems with the structure of teacher pay and conditions. The 1265hr deal was a response in the mid 90s to changing employment laws. It needs an overhaul. schoolsweek.co.uk/schools-risk-i…

Nice day at the annual ARLT conference at Westminster School. Interesting sessions on the GCSE set text, Latin A-level unseens and enjoyable guest lectures about sons in the Aeneid and the vulgarity of Vulgar Latin.
