Government accepts School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) recommendation of a 6.5% pay rise. Unions will recommend that members accept the recommendation. The DfE will provide funding for 3%, with schools to fund the remaining 3.5% from existing budgets [GOV.UK and Schools Week].
SATs results show a fall in reading standards. 73% of year 6 pupils met the expected standard in reading, with writing and maths levels also still down on pre-pandemic levels [BBC News]. Read our guidance on how to ask questions about your school’s performance data.
DfE reduces statutory supervision ratios in the EYFS. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework has been updated for 2023, including a change in the legal staff-to-child supervision ratio for 2-year-olds from 1:4 to 1:5 [GOV.UK]. Your school may need to update its EYFS policy in response - find out how to review it.
