1 in 5 teachers and leaders believe pupil behaviour has deteriorated. This is particularly the case in schools with a higher proportion of pupils receiving free school meals, according to the new report on the working lives of teachers and leaders [Schools Week].
Support from GovernorHub Knowledge: Understand how to fulfil your role in promoting good behaviour as part of a whole-school approach.
State school staff have lower levels of wellbeing than the wider adult population. Unions have called for a workforce plan in response to the findings from the working lives of teachers and leaders survey [Tes Magazine - registration required].
Support from GovernorHub Knowledge: As a chair, be clear on how you can monitor your headteacher or CEO’s wellbeing, and make sure they feel supported.
3 in 4 headteachers are struggling to recruit teaching assistants (TAs), despite rising SEND needs. Reasons suggested include low pay for TA roles and a lack of opportunities for progression [Schools Week].
Support from GovernorHub Knowledge: Learn who sets the pay for school support staff, different pay progression arrangements, and pay for support staff following academy conversion.
