Teachers at Farringtons School in Chislehurst are set to strike due to inadequate pay and pension cuts. The National Education Union and NASUWT have accused the school of using 'fire and rehire' tactics to lower salaries and remove teachers from the Teachers' Pension Scheme. Comparisons show newly qualified teachers earn significantly less than in local state schools. The NEU has reported overwhelming support for strikes, indicating severe concerns about recruitment and retention of staff, especially given the school's high fees for boarding and day pupils.
We go above and beyond for pupils but now we are being asked to take a pay cut either in our salary now or in our pensions later.
Governors at Farringtons need to start valuing their teachers. They should be looking to raise pay, not forcing staff onto worse contracts.
