We have all seen the toll that Ofsted inspections can take. Current inspections are unsafe and regularly cause mental health issues for teachers.

The new reforms are simply not good enough – our members do not have any confidence that this will change. It’s time for radical reform.

Drama, business studies, and physics were hard hit by the wide recruitment gap last summer. It’s incomprehensible for the government to think that a 2.8% pay rise will solve this problem.

The govt missed its already reduced teacher training targets last summer – secondary by a massive 38%.

If the 2.8% unfunded pay rise goes ahead, it won’t fill the thousands of vacancies or ensure all students have qualified teachers for GCSEs and A levels. #FundFairPay

Ofsted promised to create something that will ‘feel very different’ – but what we’ve seen proposed in their consultation isn’t progress. With complaints about Ofsted up by 60% it is clear there is a need for radical reform.

A third of teachers leave the profession within 5yrs of qualification.

A 2.8% unfunded pay offer isn't the solution to the recruitment & retention crisis.
Let’s send a clear message to the govt that we won’t back down until it #FundFairPay and #SaveOurSchools.

When schools are forced to choose between fixing leaking roofs or supporting students, we know something is deeply wrong. An unfunded pay rise won’t solve the funding crisis… it’ll make it worse. #FundFairPay

Ofsted has failed to take seriously the enormous concerns of the profession. It is a discredited organisation with its name continually in the mud. It is incapable of introspection or change – time to #AbolishOfsted and replace it with a new system that is supportive, effective and far.
