Welcome to the 

Shropshire Teachers' Association

website

Providing local information for NUT members

Welcome to the website of the Shropshire Teachers Association branch of the NUT. The association was founded in 1870, in fact we are among the oldest associations of the NUT, having been formed originally in the fight against performance related pay in the late 1800s.They say that history repeats itself, or is that education goes round in circles, trying to reinvent the wheel! Now we have performance management!

Shropshire Association is really the collective formed by mergers of associations such as Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Whitchurch, Ludlow, and Wem, all formed in the late 1800s before the motor car could alleviate the need for localised meetings and committees. Now we are venturing into the website arena, not as a replacement for personal contact but as a supplement. Meetings for members are held from time to time, details can be found on the meetings page.

National Agreements and guidance is available on the National NUT site ( see  useful links).

Shropshire Teachers' Association negotiates for members on local agreements and issues.

This is reported in the local journal page.

Information on teaching and educational related issues is available from:

• your school NUT representative or correspondent
• the  Divisional Secretary or Divisional Officers
• the Regional Office (9am - 5pm) 

If you need any help or advice, please contact us

This is a brief summary of what the association does:

• an advice service to members
• negotiate with the LEA on personnel issues
• casework for individual members
• Health and Safety advice
• liaise with Regional Office and Head Office
• represent members at national conference
• link with the Teacher Support Network (formerly the TBF)
