Join the Tes news team as we discuss the findings of our latest survey, which reveals that the teacher-assessed grading process has been like climbing Mount Everest with the route “drawn on the back of a napkin”.  

The survey reveals how some teachers have given up to three weeks of their free time working on assessing GCSE and A-level students this year.

We also discuss how 3,000 schools were named on the Everyone’s Invited website this week as places where sexual harassment and abuse has happened.

And we look at some of the recommendations made by Ofsted in its review into sexual abuse in schools, published this week.
