12 hours ago | schoolsweek.co.uk | JL Dutaut

More from this theme Recent articles The recent Supreme Court ruling on the legal interpretation of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 will have implications across public life, including in relation to schools and other education institutions.
Youth mental health is finally bouncing back after Covid

2 days ago | schoolsweek.co.uk | JL Dutaut

More from this theme Recent articles When the pandemic hit, it didn’t just disrupt learning; it exposed and deepened an existing youth mental health crisis. Teachers and pastoral staff have shouldered that burden since. Our latest report, published today, reveals encouraging signs of recovery, but also stark reminders of how uneven that recovery remains.
Academy 'freedoms' are not the ones we want them to have

More from this theme Recent articles Where is the evidence that academy “freedoms” are the cause of improved school standards? When I was chief executive of The Learning Trust, I designed and oversaw the academies programme in Hackney. The first academy was Mossbourne-sponsored by the late Sir Clive Bourne.

1 week ago | schoolsweek.co.uk | JL Dutaut

More from this theme Recent articles From early in the Covid-19 pandemic, it became clear that, while young people were at low risk of physical harm from the virus, many would be vulnerable to psychological impacts from this period of uncertainty.

At the Teaching Commission, Professor Qing Gu reflected on what makes teachers thrive.
The spending review must protect Labour’s CPD pledge

More from this theme Recent articles With the spending review approaching, school leaders are watching expectantly to see what will be prioritised and protected. We all know that funding is tight. The fiscal climate has changed significantly since Labour costed its manifesto 12 months ago; the government is now operating in a context where markets lurch like fairground rides, and pre-election pledges risk becoming collateral damage in an international trade war.
Funding realities put Labour's opportunity mission at risk

2 weeks ago | schoolsweek.co.uk | JL Dutaut

More from this theme Recent articles The inadequacy of school funding has been a recurring issue over the past decade and a half, since the first programme of austerity cuts. Yet, apart from the 2017 general election when the NEU’s School Cuts website made political waves, funding for schools (and colleges, where the problem is even greater) has not reached anywhere near the level of wider attention as the NHS.
A five-point scale that truly supports school improvement

2 weeks ago | schoolsweek.co.uk | JL Dutaut

More from this theme Recent articles If you strip everything back, what truly matters in providing a high-quality education? I have pondered this question over many years and I’ve concluded there is no definitive answer. A high-quality curriculum clearly matters, but that’s not entirely in schools’ hands. The safety and wellbeing of the children in our care is fundamental, but it’s not sufficient.
