Ofsted’s new reforms, rolled out this week despite widespread concern amongst the profession, will not support schools.

Educators deserve an inspectorate that supports them, not one that punishes them.

With sister unions, we have written to Bridget Phillipson calling for her to revise her teacher pay offer for next year.

We will not accept another real terms pay cut for teachers or the continued underfunding of our schools. 🔗 bit.ly/3JF5UGL

School spending on supply teaching has doubled since the pandemic. That’s public money leaving classrooms and going to agencies. #StopTheAgencyRipOff

The EBacc has been scrapped, moving us towards parity between subjects. This is a win for our union, and a win we should be proud of. We need to see action on accountability tools such as Progress 8 from the Government to make parity between subjects a reality.

Our members know that testing doesn’t drive up standards. The Government still has time to scrap primary statutory assessments.

Ofsted’s inspections are superficial and don’t help parents understand school life.

Educators and parents are being let down by an outdated inspectorate. It is time for radical change.
