It’s Not Workload. It’s Stress – Meeting with Cabinet Secretary for Education, Culture and Gaelic The SSTA met with Màiri McAllan MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Education, Culture and Gaelic, and presented the SSTA Charter. ‘It’s Not Workload. It’s Stress’ set the scene for the meeting, highlighting the need to redesign the secondary teacher role and career progression to support the recruitment and retention of Scottish secondary teachers. Addressing the stress created by excessive workload and unachievable expectations would be a good starting point. The SSTA highlighted the need for additional in-service days throughout the development and implementation of the new Curriculum Improvement Cycle and the new National Qualifications Framework that will follow. The Cabinet Secretary was urged to make progress on the 90-minute reduction in class contact time for secondary teachers and to ensure that the good work developed through the Pupil Behaviour Action Plan is treated as a priority and implemented effectively in schools. A full report of the meeting will follow.

Reasonable Adjustments: Autism and Neurodivergence At the SSTA Congress, a motion highlighted the growing number of adults receiving a neurodiverse diagnosis and the concern that disclosing such a diagnosis could lead to discrimination in the workplace. The SSTA is seeking greater recognition and support for neurodiverse staff in Scottish education. The SSTA will pursue leaders in Scottish education, including the Scottish Government, COSLA and the SNCT, to use guidance aimed at supporting neurodiverse staff as a baseline of minimum expectations for working with all staff in schools. Understanding neurodivergent people. Neurodivergent people may experience and interact with the world differently from neurotypical individuals. Characteristics vary from person to person, but may include differences in social communication, preference for routine and repetition, focused or deep interests, sensory sensitivity and thinking styles. Neurodivergent workers, including those with autism, ADHD and dyslexia, can face barriers that affect their wellbeing and ability to work effectively. Reasonable adjustments are changes to the workplace or working practices that can enable neurodivergent staff to work safely, effectively and on an equal basis with others.

Equality and Human Rights Commission – Consultation The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has asked organisations to circulate its public consultation on the EHRC’s technical guidance for schools consultation The technical guidance explains schools’ legal obligations not to discriminate against, harass or victimise pupils, as set out in Chapter 1 of Part 6 of the Equality Act 2010. It suggests steps schools may wish to take to comply with their legal obligations and provides information for those involved in resolving issues arising under the Act, including parents, carers, advisers, lawyers, courts and tribunals. The guidance is not a statutory code issued under Section 14 of the Equality Act 2006, but it may be used as evidence in legal proceedings. Members can access the consultation and the specific guidance for Scotland here: EHRC – Technical Guidance for Schools Consultation: Scotland The consultation closes on 30 September.

Today, we launch our new campaign, and it starts with what you told us.

Our survey showed that tracking, monitoring, QS assignments and coursework are driving work-related stress. And the biggest thing you said would make a difference? Time.

This isn’t about asking teachers to work harder or cope better with an unsustainable job.

It’s about changing the job.

On 17 September, I will present our Charter to the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Culture and Gaelic. We are demanding:

• Protected time to implement the Curriculum Improvement Cycle
• Lead Teacher posts in every secondary school and subject area
• Workload Impact Assessments for all new initiatives
• A pause on further change while the CIC is rolled out
• Mental Health First Aiders in every secondary school
• We’ve asked for a formal response by 16 November.

But the Charter is just the beginning.

We need you behind it.

We’ll be asking members to back the Charter, sign up to support our demands and get involved in local action.

Our new SSTA WhatsApp channel will be the first place to get the Charter, petition and campaign updates.

Join now via the button below. Add your voice. Stand up for a better deal for secondary teachers.

Curriculum Improvement Cycle

The Curriculum Improvement Cycle (CIC) is underway and is being led by Education Scotland.

As part of the Curriculum Improvement Cycle (CIC) co-design process, Education Scotland has shared early draft samples from the new curriculum. These materials are intended to give teachers an opportunity to understand how the curriculum improvement work is progressing and to contribute to the ongoing co-design process.
 
The materials are being developed for distribution to schools at the start of the 2026–27 academic year. A full draft technical Curriculum Framework is expected to be issued in early autumn. In addition, Building Scotland’s Curriculum: A draft resource for discussion and further co-design has now been published. The implementation date for the new curriculum in S1 in secondary schools is August 2028.
 
The SSTA has made clear that this major overhaul of the curriculum cannot be undertaken within normal working-time arrangements. The SSTA has consistently called for additional time to be made available for secondary teachers to participate in the development and preparation of the new curriculum during this year and in the years leading up to implementation in August 2028.

The Scottish Government is in the process of allocating two additional in-service days during the current school year and 2027. The first is to take place during this term, with the second taking place in 2027. These two additional in-service days will be organised by Education Scotland and devoted solely to the Curriculum Improvement Cycle.
 
SSTA advice to members: Members are advised to wait until the planned additional in-service days have been completed before determining future curriculum content and/or teaching materials. All materials and documents currently available remain drafts and are subject to further development and change.

Members should ensure that they manage and control their workload this year and should not be tempted to pre-empt the curriculum development process by undertaking work prematurely.

Materials for S1, for implementation in autumn 2028, should be produced during the 2027–28 school year, provided that sufficient additional time is allocated for this work.

Salary Increase – August 2026

The final part of the two-year SNCT pay agreement will be added to teachers’ salaries in August 2026.
All SNCT grades will receive a 3.25% increase, effective from 1 August 2026. 

Claiming Back Pay
The pay changes will be applied automatically to most members who have remained employed by the same local authority.

However, the SSTA wishes to advise members who have retired, left the profession or moved to another local authority during the period covered by the pay settlement that they may need to submit a claim for back pay to their previous employing authority.

For further information, please use the SSTA proforma to assist with making a back-pay claim.

The SSTA is pleased to announce a referral relationship with Wesleyan, a company specialising in financial advice for professionals, with extensive expertise in the education sector.

Through this partnership, SSTA members will have access to tailored, high-quality financial guidance designed to support them at every stage of their career.

Members can access advice across a full range of financial services, including:

• Mortgage and home-buying advice
• Protection, including income protection, life cover and critical illness cover

Tax Refunds

TAXrefundCo has helped many SSTA members over a number of years to ensure they have the correct income tax code and to claim refunds where tax has been overpaid.

However, the SSTA’s long-standing association with the company has now come to an end. The SSTA is currently seeking a new provider for this service.

Members will be updated once a new provider has been approved by the SSTA Finance and General Purposes Committee.

Don’t Say Yes, Say How – Managing Teacher Workload (WTA)

As a new term begins, rather than simply agreeing to every new initiative, idea or proposal that appears beneficial, teachers should ask one crucial question:

How will this be achieved within the agreed working time?

The start of a new school year often brings new initiatives and additional demands. Members should ensure that any new work is properly considered within the context of their Working Time Agreement (WTA) and that additional workload is not simply added without appropriate time being made available.
For more information on Working Time Agreements, including an explanatory video, please visit the SSTA website.

• Report of the General Secretary at Congress
• Post of General Secretary
• Motions Passed at Congress 2026
• Health & Safety Walkabout in Secondary Schools
• Financial Statement to members for period ended 31 December 2024

GENERAL SECRETARY

The Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association (SSTA) is the only Scottish-based teaching union exclusively representing teachers in secondary education. With around 6,000 members, the Association is committed to supporting teachers, influencing education policy, and promoting excellence in Scottish education.

Following the retirement of the current postholder, the Association seeks to appoint a new General Secretary. This is an exciting opportunity to lead the organisation and help shape the future of education in Scotland.

The Role

Based in Edinburgh, the General Secretary will provide strategic leadership for the Association and be responsible for:

• Leading the development and implementation of the Association’s strategic objectives.
• Supporting the development of education policy and representing the interests of secondary teachers.
• Managing and leading the Association’s staff and resources.
• Building strong relationships with members, elected representatives, employers, government bodies, and other stakeholders.
• Leading negotiations and representing members’ interests at national and local levels.
• Supporting recruitment, retention, training, and engagement of members.
• Promoting effective communication, campaigning, and public advocacy on education issues.
• Driving organisational development and continuous improvement.

The Person

Candidates should be able to demonstrate:

• Strong leadership and management skills.
• Strategic thinking and the ability to lead organisational change.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills.
• An understanding of education and the challenges facing the profession.
• Experience of policy development, stakeholder engagement, and public representation.
• The ability to manage complex issues and make sound decisions.
• A genuine commitment to education and the welfare of education professionals.

A background in teaching, educational leadership, or trade union work would be advantageous but is not essential.

Salary and Conditions

• Salary: £106,224 (SNCT Head Teacher Point 15)
• Car allowance: £3,500

The appointment is subject to the provisions of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, which may require a ballot of members. The post is also subject to re-election by members every five years.

Application Process

Applications close at 12 noon on 27 August 2026.

Interviews will be held in Edinburgh on 9 September 2026.

An application pack, including the application form, job description and person specification, can be downloaded from the SSTA website or requested from the Association’s office. Candidates may also contact the current General Secretary for an informal discussion about the role.

The SSTA Congress motion was submitted to this week’s SNCT Teachers’ Side meeting. The motion called for a 7% pay uplift for all secondary school teachers until the Scottish Government fulfilled its commitment to deliver a 90-minute reduction in class contact time.

The Teachers’ Side considered the claim to be potentially counterproductive, arguing that it could provide the Scottish Government and COSLA with an opportunity to reopen negotiations on the SNCT agreement. With a new Scottish Government and a new Cabinet Secretary in place, there were concerns that such a move could be strategically risky and create an opportunity for COSLA to seek changes that might undermine the existing agreement.

The motion was subsequently rejected, with the Teachers’ Side reaffirming its commitment to prioritising the implementation of the SNCT agreement on the reduction in class contact time.

At the meeting it was unanimously agreed that all unions work collectively to deliver the SNCT agreement. The Teachers’ Side has proposed working groups that will include an Implementation Group, Workforce Planning Group and amendments to the SNCT Handbook. Please see the statement issued today. SNCT Teachers’ Panel: Work on delivery of class contact agreement must proceed without delay

Changes to the PVG Scheme

From 1 April 2026, Disclosure Scotland has introduced a new five-year membership period for the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme, replacing lifetime membership.  Please see: Five-year PVG scheme membership now in place – Disclosure Scotland

Key changes

• PVG membership will now last for five years from the date of joining or application.
• All new applicants will automatically enter the five-year membership scheme.
• Members will need to renew their PVG membership every five years to remain registered.
• Renewals will be completed through an individual online account, with an offline option available for those unable to use digital services.
• The renewal process is separate from applying for a disclosure.

Existing PVG members

• Current PVG members do not need to take any action at this stage.
• Existing lifetime memberships will move to the new five-year system in phases.
• Disclosure Scotland will contact affected individuals directly when action is required.

It is envisaged that removing interest in individuals who no longer require PVG membership will help reduce unnecessary administration and ensure organisations only receive relevant updates.
See FAQs on the PVG Scheme on the SSTA website

SSTA STANDING UP FOR ALL TEACHERS IN SECONDARY EDUCATION

The Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association (SSTA) has warned that growing shortages of specialist secondary teachers are the result of years of inadequate workforce planning, weak retention strategies, and increasingly challenging working conditions.

Responding to reports that secondary schools are reducing subject choice due to difficulties recruiting specialist teachers. Scotland is now experiencing the consequences of a long-term failure to plan effectively for the staffing needs of secondary education.

SSTA President, Monique Dreon-Goold, said:

“The shortages we are seeing today did not happen overnight. The profession has warned for years that workforce planning in secondary education was failing to keep pace with future demand. The result is that schools are struggling to recruit specialist teachers in key subjects, with direct consequences for young people’s educational opportunities.”

The SSTA highlighted persistent shortages in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Computing Science, Business Education, Technical Education, and other specialist subject areas. The Association believes one of the principal barriers to recruitment is that teaching is becoming a less attractive career option for graduates in these disciplines.

“Graduates with degrees in Mathematics, Science, Computing, and Business-related subjects have a wide range of career opportunities available to them. Starting salaries in teaching are often not sufficiently competitive when compared with opportunities in industry, technology, finance, and the private sector. If Scotland wants to attract highly qualified graduates into teaching, the profession must remain competitive.”

The SSTA also highlighted the continued use of temporary and short-term contracts, particularly affecting newly qualified teachers.

“Many young teachers complete their training only to face uncertainty about where they will work and whether they will secure permanent employment. This lack of job security discourages talented graduates from entering and remaining in the profession.”

While recruitment challenges remain particularly acute in rural and remote areas, shortages are increasingly being felt across Scotland, including in urban schools where vacancies are often difficult to fill.

The Association also expressed concern that secondary education is losing some of the advantages traditionally associated with subject specialism. The growth of large faculty structures has reduced opportunities for teachers to develop leadership roles within their specialist subject areas, making career progression less attractive for many experienced practitioners.

However, the SSTA stressed that recruitment cannot be considered separately from retention.

“The biggest challenge facing the profession is not simply recruiting teachers; it is retaining them. Too many skilled and experienced teachers are questioning whether they can remain in the profession until retirement.”

Members continue to report excessive workloads, increasing administrative demands, and growing expectations around assessment, tracking, and reporting. Many teachers regularly undertake significant amounts of work beyond their contracted hours.

Alongside workload pressures, the SSTA identified worsening pupil behaviour as a major factor affecting teacher retention.

“Teachers are increasingly reporting verbal abuse, threats, aggression, and, in some cases, physical violence. Behaviour that would once have been considered unacceptable is becoming normalised in too many schools. No profession can expect to recruit and retain staff if employees do not feel safe and supported in their workplace.”

The SSTA is calling for a comprehensive national strategy to address secondary teacher shortages, including:

• Improved long-term workforce planning.
• More permanent contracts for newly qualified teachers.
• Action to make teaching a more attractive career option for graduates in shortage subjects.
• Targeted support for hard-to-recruit schools and locations.
• Measures to reduce excessive workload.
• Stronger national action to tackle violence and aggressive behaviour towards school staff.
• Greater recognition, support, and promotion of subject specialism and subject leadership.

Concluding, SSTA President Monique Dreon-Goold said:

“Every pupil deserves access to qualified specialist teachers. Scotland’s teacher shortage is not inevitable; it is the result of policy choices and priorities. Unless action is taken to improve recruitment, retention, workload, and workplace safety, schools will continue to struggle to provide the breadth and quality of education that young people deserve.”

Managing Teacher Workload (WTA) – Don’t Say Yes, Say How

Working Time Agreements (WTAs) for the next school year are currently being negotiated in many schools. These agreements should determine how teachers’ 35-hour working week is organised and allocated.
 
Remember that the maximum class contact time is 22.5 hours per week, with 7.5 hours allocated for planning, preparation and correction, and 5 hours for collegiate activities. Teachers who undertake management responsibilities should also have appropriate time allocated within their class contact hours (See  “PART 2: SECTION 2 – MAIN DUTIES” of the SNCT handbook) 

The real challenge for many schools is ensuring that all expectations placed on teachers can be accommodated within the 5 hours allocated for collegiate activities. It is therefore essential that any WTA clearly identifies the activities to be undertaken and allocates realistic time for completing them. A well-constructed WTA should provide clear answers to that question and help ensure that workload remains manageable and sustainable.
 
Rather than simply agreeing to every new initiative, idea or proposal that appears beneficial, teachers should ask a crucial question: How will this be achieved within the agreed working time?
 
For more information on WTA and an explanatory video can be found on the SSTA website.

Guide to Changes to Job Sizing

Members’ attention is drawn to an important update contained in JS-25-84 SNCT Agreement on Changes to the Job Sizing toolkit on recent developments relating to job sizing arrangements, training, and guidance/pastoral support roles. This circular is intended to clarify what has been agreed nationally and to address any questions members may have.  Please note that there have been some agreed amendments to deadlines, notably the implementation date of August 2027 which has been put back 12 months to 2028 (see Section 3 below).


1. Use of Revised Questionnaire and Guidance
 
Changes to the job sizing questionnaire and associated guidance SNCT Handbook Appendix 2.2, Annex A are not intended to trigger a re-sizing of posts. Members should be reassured that existing posts will not be automatically reviewed as a result of these updates alone.
 
However, Job Sizing Co-ordinators are expected to apply the revised arrangements to any posts requiring review going forward. 

 
2. Training for Job Sizing Co-ordinators
 
Local Negotiating Committees for Teachers (LNCTs) will be responsible for maintaining a record of:

• who their Job Sizing Co-ordinators are; and
• when they last undertook training.

It has been agreed that refresher training should take place every three years. As this will take time to implement fully, LNCTs have been asked to prioritise: 

• newly appointed Job Sizing Co-ordinators; and
• those who have not undertaken training for the longest period.

Training dates will be arranged nationally and shared well in advance to support planning and attendance.

3. Guidance / Pastoral Support Roles

Recognising that local authorities will require additional time to implement changes relating to Principal Teacher (PT) Guidance caseloads, an extended implementation period has been agreed.

LNCTs will monitor progress in reviewing guidance departments. Where a post (or group of posts) has not been reviewed by 1 June 2028, LNCTs will ensure that a job sizing review is undertaken before the end of that school session, with implementation from 1 August 2028.

In addition, work is ongoing to insert specific wording on guidance/pastoral support roles into the SNCT Handbook (Section 2, Part 2 – Main Duties). A further national circular will be issued once this has been finalised.

4. Budget Responsibility Bandings

Members should be aware that the current budget responsibility bandings within the job sizing toolkit date from the early 2000s and no longer reflect the significant real-terms growth in school budgets.

New bandings have been agreed at the SNCT (insert attachment) and the guidance and toolkit will be updated accordingly.

5. National Job Sizing Co-ordinators and Support Arrangements

To strengthen consistency and support across authorities, a National Job Sizing Co-ordinator User Group is being established.

Where Job Sizing Co-ordinators require advice or clarification, queries should be submitted jointly to the National Job Sizing Co-ordinators, setting out: 

• the issue;
• relevant background; and
• specific questions requiring a response.

In such circumstances, please contact SSTA Head Office info@ssta.org.uk for advice.
 

6. FAQs
 
Will my post be re-sized because of the new questionnaire? No. The revised materials will only be used where a post is already due for review.
 
Who decides when a post is reviewed? Reviews continue to be determined locally through established processes, not automatically by these changes.
 
Will guidance roles definitely be reviewed? Yes, all guidance roles should be reviewed, with a national backstop date of June 2028 where this has not already happened.
 
Will training be mandatory? Training is expected for all Job Sizing Co-ordinators on a three-year cycle, with prioritisation based on need.
 
Are further changes expected? Potentially, particularly regarding budget bandings and handbook wording. Any agreed changes will be communicated in due course.
 
If you have any questions or concerns about how these changes may affect you, please do not hesitate to get in touch: info@ssta.org.uk
