We're coming up for 10 years since Baroness Nicky Morgan started the 'Workload Challenge', but I think the demands of the job have shifted from admin to carrying the burdens of society.
Simon Knight The support for SEND pupils is in complete meltdown. Huge increase in numbers of children needing support, LAs SEND budgets are millions in deficit & predicting vastly increased deficits going forward! It’s a crisis & schools trying v hard to support kids & families! What next?
Simon Knight Based on work I do in schools I am finding at least 5 pupils in every mainstream school who are not appropriately placed due to the lack of spaces in specialist provision that is thousands of pupils not being appropriately educated. Schools doing their best - not sustainable!
Simon Knight This is spot on, I don’t know how many times recently I have heard of tribunals finding in favour of parents/children (which I have no fundamental issue with) but placing children in schools that are already over capacity or have already been clear they can’t meet needs.
