Matt Bromley talks to headteacher Phil Denton, head
of English Chloe Testa, and education trainer Peter Radford about
teacher workload. They discuss the impact burn-out can have on
teachers' wellbeing, as well as the consequences of low teacher
retention and explore possible solutions. They discuss the
importance of school culture, explaining that often it’s the nature
of the work teachers are asked to do that causes anxiety. They
argue that teachers should be afforded autonomy when it comes to
planning and assessment. They discuss the impact Covid-19 has had
on workload and what schools might learn about flexible
working.
