Hi All, NOT yoga related in the slightest I’m afraid!!
A local school Trust, Wensum Trust, are currently in a consultation process to eradicate over 75 whole time equivalent Teaching Assistants posts, throughout 8 of their primary schools in Norfolk.
They are replacing these roles with a mere 45.8 whole time equivalent Pastoral &Learning Support Staff.
This radical redesign is a cost saving exercise that does not have Norfolk’s’ children’s’ interests at heart.
Pitting colleague against colleague as they all will have to reapply for these new roles, putting teachers under ever increasing pressure as they lose vital support in the classroom and leaving our children less supported than ever before.
Please help by signing our little petition. Every signature will help us parents and everyone supporting the Teaching Assistants to stop this consultation in its’ tracks.

Short term cost saving initiatives like this are short sighted and VERY lazy leadership.
