https://www.tes.com/news/school-news/breaking-views/five-things-we-must-get-right-education-2018
‘Teaching is driving too many teachers to mental health problems’
‘As a headteacher, I used to think of the shame I’d face if I lost my job. It now just seems like a matter of time’
‘Leaders aren’t failing on behaviour – whatever people might say on Twitter’
‘So much rides on today’s Sats results – it threatens my wellbeing as a school leader’
Diary of Sats Week: It all started with a Special Sats Breakfast served with a slice of fear and a mug of uncertainty…
‘Teacher job security is tested by Sats and I have seen many fall, their lives destroyed and jobs lost – they are untenable’
‘The idea that heads must teach damages the profession and demeans the roles of both teacher and headteacher’
‘Why schools are perfect places for apprenticeships’
