Educator, School leader, my views are most definitely my own 🤔
You have an ever increasing burden being borne by a system that might have coped without the decade long per pupil decline in spending! Increase funding to allow schools not just to deliver their basic function but to have scope to meet (early) emerging needs and you might slow EHCP applications!

If you define EHCP need as students needing more than the 6k worth of support schools were supposed to provide. Then don’t increase this with inflation. Then consider all the additional costs that come with consulting, justifying, responding, managing legally mandated support.

Even a core teacher will only have a cursory understanding by week 3 surely? But I get the pressure to spread them throughout the year for staff wellbeing not sure it actually works though!

Totally agree. It removes the all important relationship which at best takes until Christmas to develop owing to the sheer scale of the job!

That’s potentially 240 students with mental health issues, passports for additional needs and strategies without any other sen need.

When a secondary teacher might have 15 classes of 30-32 children this can be really difficult and this would be common for most subjects outside of the core (English, Maths, Science). I agree it’s a problem of scale classes need to be smaller.
