All of us need to celebrate what we do in our workplace. As part of our trade union’s recognition of the invaluable work support staff do in our schools, every year we have a Stars in Our Schools Celebration Day.

This year the event will take place on Friday 29 November 2024 – but we encourage schools to join in whenever suits you.

Go to to the Stars in Our Schools website where you can get more information and resources. We are reaching out to headteachers and support staff. We do need to have as many people involved so that staff can get all the recognition you deserve.

School Support Staff Negotiating Body

UNISON and other trade unions are in negotiations with the government to create a pay and conditions body specifically for school support staff. Read or download more information below.

We can only win as a union with members on the ground identifying issues and organising. Could you be a workplace contact, steward or other role? Please contact the branch office if you want to be able to influence change for the better.
