School leaders say they are overworked, disenchanted and unsure who should take education forward after the election, according to the annual State of Education report.
In the spring term, The Key surveyed more than 1,000 of its members across the country to explore the big issues that face school leaders today – from government policies, Ofsted and accountability to teachers’ morale and the daily challenges of running a school.
The results tell us that school leaders are fed-up with constant changes and are, unsurprisingly, disenchanted as they face continued challenges around tightening budgets, a shortage of places and a hefty workload.
While there have been some positive reforms, the findings demonstrate the frustration that is being felt with politics across the board as school leaders call for less interference from Westminster.
