The newest version of the North Tyneside pay policy has been agreed through trade unions and schools, and sent out in draft form, pending the finalisation of the school teachers pay and conditions document in the week beginning the 5th October. All teachers should be progressed through the pay scale and pass their performance appraisal unless concerns had been raised prior to March. The pay award currently agreed is as follows: • the minimum of the main pay range is increased by 5.5%. North Tyneside NASUWT • the maximum of the main pay range and the minima and Ordinary General Meeting, maxima of all other pay and allowance ranges for Thursday 15th October 2020 @ teachers and school leaders are uplifted by 2.75%. 6.30pm, via ZOOM • advisory pay points are reintroduced on the upper pay The first meeting of the year for all range.

If you have any problems with your performance appraisal review, please contact one of the officers and we will be happy to help. Secret Teacher of North Tyneside Not long into this pandemic, I was blocked by ‘a friend’ on social media, because of her ‘opinion’ on the teaching profession. She claimed that ‘if teachers are refusing to go to school and teach, they should be furloughed’ like people were in so many other occupations. I tried to be understanding of her confusion and ignorance, and pointed out that we were still working, therefore could not be furloughed, only to receive a tirade of ‘facts’ she had read in the teacher slamming tabloids. Unfortunately, she blocked me, before I had the chance to educate her, and indeed block her first. We have all been working throughout this pandemic, whether that be teaching from home remotely, or going into school to teach our vulnerable students, or those children of keyworkers. We have adapted and used our experience of our young people and our profession to show integrity, professionalism and a willingness to do whatever it takes to ensure that the young people we teach do not miss out. Just in case no one else has said this to you, I applaud you, and think you are amazing. I am in awe of how hard you have worked. Those of you in primary who had to go back to full time teaching in the classroom, when you were scared, but hid it from the children who needed you to be their rock. Those of you in special schools, who have on their roll primarily vulnerable children, and therefore worked tirelessly, even through the holidays. Those of you in secondary, who spent hours using your professional judgement to assess your students, with their futures in your hands, but rose to the unprecedented challenge. What this government has taught me is that they lack any understanding of our education system. Although to be honest this does not come as too much of a shock. One of the most immoral moments in this historical time was the fiasco of the A-Level results, and it must be one of the most shameful things Gavin Williamson has done. There really is nothing like showing your true political ideology through an algorithm is there? ‘Private school in a leafy suburb of Kent- oh yes you get an A*: Comprehensive on a council estate in Newcastle- computer says no.’ I did have a laugh out loud moment when Angela Rayner pronounced that Boris would ‘make the algorithm resign if he could’. My only hope for this government after this whole fiasco is that none of those 18-year olds, now on their way to university, will ever vote for them. Also, on the theme of morality. What is wrong with this country when a footballer must stand up to the Prime Minister for free school meals? Marcus Rashford for Education Secretary anyone? So here we are. Back in the saddle. Doing what we do best with a smile on our faces. No hint of how scared or worried we might be. We will put on our happy faces for our students; be endlessly positive. No talk of ‘getting them caught up’ or frightening them with talk of how far behind they might be. We might be belittled in the tabloids, on social media, or even by our government, but we will laugh in their faces, because we know we are amazing, and so do those people whose opinions really matter. And I applaud you all. If you would like to write a Secret Teacher article for us (anonymously) and enjoy a good rant.

  • North Tyneside Transport Policy Statement 2017/2018
    North Tyneside Transport Policy Statement 2017/2018 Transport policy statement for learners aged 16-18 in further education and continuing learners aged 19 and over Department Responsible: Commissioning and Investment 1. Summary of Policy Statement and Main Objectives (this section should give an overview/statement of intent of what the LA's transport policy is and what the subsequent desired outcomes are). This policy statement sets out the way in which North Tyneside Council has decided to exercise its powers and duties in relation to the provision of school and college transport for learners aged 16-19 in accordance with section 509 of the Education Act 1996, as amended by Section 83 of the Education and Inspection Act 2006. The policy seeks to ensure that no North Tyneside learner is prevented from continuing in further education due to lack of transport provision or lack of financial support with transport costs. It outlines the provision of transport provision schemes and assistance for Post 16 learners who live and study in North Tyneside or those who live in North Tyneside and attend an educational establishment outside of the Borough if it is the nearest provider offering the appropriate course of study. This document sets out the current policy of North Tyneside Council, which it should be noted could be subject to change in the future. North Tyneside Council supports and encourages safe and sustainable independent travel wherever possible. It promotes walking, cycling and the use of public transport whenever possible but with the emphasis on safety and efficiency. Where the use of public transport is not suitable to meet the needs of students alternative provision may be provided subject to various terms and conditions detailed in North Tyneside Council's Home to School/College Transport Policy.

  • Prospectus Pt 2014-2015.Pdf
    Welcome As the Elected Mayor and the Principal of Tyne Metropolitan College, we are very pleased to present our joint prospectus for adult skills and learning courses in 2014. The quality of what’s on offer to you has never been better. Both the Adult Learning Alliance and Tyne Metropolitan College have been inspected by Ofsted in the last year. Ofsted’s assessment of both organisations is incredibly positive. Each has particular strengths: • Tyne Metropolitan College is recognised for its excellent partnerships which support the local economy. • The Adult Learning Alliance is recognised for its outstanding support for adults who left school with few qualifications and the progress these learners make. One of our aspirations for the borough is to ensure that everyone is supported to achieve their potential – this is one of my pledges to you as the elected Mayor. I’m proud that we have two organisations providing training and learning in the borough of such high quality, with such a commitment to supporting learners and going the extra mile. The award of North East Regional Adult Learner of the Year 2014 for the third year to another North Tyneside learner, John Swanston, and the award of the North East Apprenticeship of the Year to Kier and Tyne Metropolitan College, is testimony to the commitment and dedication of the staff working at Tyne Metropolitan College and the Adult Learning Alliance. This year’s prospectus includes a wide choice of courses, held in convenient and accessible venues across the borough. Course fees are very competitive, are kept as low as possible and there are generous discounts and concessions to help all families – regardless of their income – to learn and train.
