“We hear a lot about the recruitment challenge in education - how in recent years we have failed to train enough teachers to meet the needs of our schools. This year alone, we missed the teacher recruitment target by a historic gap of 38%. This shortfall means that we are training 8,585 fewer teachers than we need to ensure every classroom has a teacher up front.”

“Research also suggests that introducing flexible working arrangements tends to have other positive impacts as well, such as increased wellbeing, job satisfaction, attendance, motivation, teaching capacity, expertise and career progression. While flexible working arrangements can involve costs on schools and pupils, surveys of teachers and leaders suggest that these benefits can often outweigh the costs”
Harland, Bradley and Worth, 2023
“Teacher supply in England is in a critical state that represents a substantial risk to the quality of education. Since the pandemic, secondary teacher recruitment has been far below what is needed to meet schools’ needs for new teachers, and this is unlikely to be any different this year. Applications for the 2024/25 ITT cycle so far suggest recruitment for 10 out of 17 secondary subjects is at risk of missing targets.”
