Throughout the period of school closures, we’ve been taking steps to ensure that our 2020 policy provides a greater level of protection for schools in the unfortunate event that the virus affects their workforce.

https://www.aplhealth.com/A new report by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) looking at the issues facing the teacher workforce in England shows that job-related stress is higher among teachers than other professionals.

Approximately 1,000 head teachers from across England protested outside Parliament on Friday in a plea for increased school funding.

The recent National Association of Head Teachers conference has sparked debate between headteachers, with some saying that government ministers are not listening to them.

Sex and relationships education (RSE) is to be made compulsory in all schools in England, the government has announced. The Education Secretary, Justine Greening, says that all children from the age of four will be taught about safe and healthy relationships and children in secondary schools will be given age-appropriate lessons about sex.

More than £380 million of a £500 million pot for building capacity in the academies system has been taken back by the treasury at a time when head teachers are protesting about a cash crisis.
