“We’ve got some of the highest teacher–pupil ratios in the OECD. We are not going to see improvements in standards or equity unless we are able to recruit teachers and retain them.”

It is almost as if the government is deliberately picking a fight with the teaching profession. The Treasury has set itself on a collision course in its obstinate refusal to fund even the inadequate 6.5 per cent teacher pay increase spread over the three years from September 2026.

Subsidised performances or community support can help make festive activities inclusive.

"The daily experience of admin, behaviour follow-up and system trust still defines the job for far too many teachers."

Our members have consistently raised the alarm about workload. Lack of funding is a major driver.

Another year, and once again the government has missed its own recruitment target for secondary trainee teachers – this time by 12 per cent, even after slashing the target by a fifth.
