Join the Tes news team as we discuss our new investigation revealing how certain top independent schools are hoarding millions of pounds instead of providing bursaries for disadvantaged pupils, as befits their charitable status.
We also talk about potential controversy surrounding the DfE’s recruitment of MAT chief executive Mark Emmerson as part of a seven-strong team of behaviour experts to lead a programme to improve behaviour in 500 schools - after Tes revealed (in 2016) that he subjected pupils to “unlawful” informal exclusions.
And we discuss how teachers are split in their support for baseline assessments set to be introduced for reception pupils from September.
