THE government’s plans to improve schools cannot succeed while it is implementing austerity measures, the National Education Union (NEU) warned today.
Speaking at the Centre for Social Justice, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said that 600 schools across the country were “stuck” and vowed to usher in a “new era of accountability.”
She said new Ofsted report cards would replace single headline grades with the “rich, granular insight of school report cards.”
