Press releases

1 in 8 schools were in deficit at the end of the financial year 2022-23.

Early Years education is vitally important but Early Years policy is heading in the wrong direction.

We need a concerted effort to address the SEND funding crisis as well as tackling child poverty and the extreme impact that it has on children and young people's capacity to maintain regular attendance.

A government which wants to make a difference to the wellbeing of teachers and school leaders will need to go deeper than these announcements.

Ofsted is clinging on to its delusions. The measures it proposes in response to the senior coroner’s report do not match the scale of the problem that it inflicts on schools.

Ofsted poses a safeguarding risk to teachers and students, according to NEU poll.

This update is only a very small part of the work needed to see the reductions in workload we all aspire to.

Schools should be able to deliver these programmes free from the worry of budget constraints and increases to staff workload.

Educators are looking to politicians to match their policies to the scale of the problems.

This announcement signals that the Chief Inspector recognises that it is now time for Ofsted to listen to the voice of educators and their unions.

Children living in precarious or temporary accommodation face challenges on a day-to-day basis and it certainly impacts on a child’s education and learning.
