Over the past week, it’s been reported that the Education Secretary is looking at drastically reducing workload in a bid to end the strikes.
So naturally, we’ve got workload on our minds and so we asked you to tell us about the unproductive tasks you are asked to do at school.
Senior leaders told us about the thousands of unproductive administrative tasks and meetings they take part in (such as preparing Ofsted documentation, reports to governors, SEF, SIP, NEA documents, DfE audits and surveys, Local Authority meetings, signing off invoices, raising requisitions, writing policies, writing impact statements for regional directors, student action plans, SEN paperwork…).
We were particularly interested in those teachers at the start of their career without any significant responsibilities beyond the classroom. Is there anything we can do to reduce workload for them?
