Join the Tes news team as we discuss the results of our latest survey that half of school staff have no trust “at all” in the Department for Education’s decision-making when it comes to Covid-19, and also that 85 per cent feel the government has not done enough to help them during the pandemic. 

We also talk about recommendations from advisors that the £350m National Tutoring Programme (to help disadvantaged pupils catch-up after lockdown) should mostly take place on-line - and the potential problems with that. 

And we discuss findings of the NAHT heads’ union that more than 4 in 5 headteachers are having problems sleeping due to the pressures of the job - and that that problems caused by Covid-19 could “exacerbate the leadership drought”.
