A group of leading headteachers is urging the main political parties to adopt five key policies to help revolutionise professional development. Pete Henshaw reports.

Five key policies to revolutionise the professional development of teachers have been drawn up by an international group of school leaders.

The UK’s main political parties are now being urged to adopt the principles ahead of May’s General Election.
