Ofsted 2020 : Greater focus on teacher workload

In the latest Ofsted inspection framework there are frequent references to reducing teacher workload. Leaders need to be aware of the main pressures that are on staff and take account of them, be realistic and constructive in the way they manage their staff and that any workload issues are dealt with appropriately and quickly.

The biggest pressure on teacher workload highlighted in the Teacher Workload Review in 2016, but not yet addressed in over 50% of schools is that of unrealistic expectations associated with Marking and Feedback.

  • Are you looking to adopt a “meaningful, manageable and motivating” perspective to marking?
  • Do you need the confidence to be able to reject decisions that increase burdens for staff?
  •  Are you clear on the role of marking in your curriculum?
  •  Do you want to fully understand the role of work scrutiny in the new Ofsted framework?
  • Need a practical toolkit to reclaim your evenings?

Do you need other ways to:

  • demonstrate teacher performance?
  • feed back to parents?

Link marking and feedback with the learning process to ensure pupils’ understanding is being improved

If your current approach is unmanageable or disproportionate, stop it and adopt an approach that considers exactly what the marking needs to achieve for pupils
