Many schools are now going to great lengths to minimise workload for staff, including strategies such as centralised teaching resources, marking and feedback policies emphasising the benefits of whole-class feedback, live-marking, and self-assessment, and sensible timetabling and calendar planning that avoids surges in workload and reduces pressure on staff at pinch points during the year.
A clear school vision with regularly reviewed and shared priorities can help staff to prioritise. A visible staffing structure, where staff know their roles, responsibilities and the limits of their authority also has huge benefits in preventing unnecessary time wasted in getting decisions made and enabling much faster progress.
