Teaching remains a popular career choice for many. We recruited over 2,000 more trainee teachers for the 2018/19 academic year than in 2017/18, continuing the positive trend we saw the previous year. However, the growing number of pupils of secondary age means that we need even more teachers. This is...

Schools have always been subject to inspection by Her Majesty’s inspectors and, from 1992, by Ofsted. Since 2010, we have simplified inspection, reducing graded judgments from 27 to just four. We have freed our best schools from routine inspection and introduced lighter-touch inspections for good schools.

We face a teacher retention crisis in this country. One head in Oxford recently described to me how she and her staff felt “criminalised” after a devastating Ofsted inspection. What is the Minister doing to change the “culture of fear” caused by inspection, which his own Department’s workplace survey identified as one of the biggest burdens on teachers?

The workload challenge identified a range of drivers of high workload, including accountability and perceived pressures from Ofsted. We took steps to address that in our 2017 action plan, including through Ofsted’s commitment to reducing unnecessary workload around inspections, by dispelling myths about inspection and by training inspectors and monitoring inspection reports. The winter 2016 teacher voice omnibus survey showed that 39% of headteachers had used advice from Ofsted to change practice to reduce unnecessary workload.

As the hon. Gentleman will know, we are working on introducing a free website to enable schools to recruit teachers.

Morale is low, retention is a challenge and schools face exorbitant agency fees to recruit new staff. St Saviour’s and St Olave’s School at the Bricklayers’ in my constituency spent £100,000 just last year on recruitment alone. When will the Government act to end rip-off agency fees, or introduce their own portal to better link available teachers and recruiting schools?
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the effect of scrutiny of schools by (a) her Department and (b) Ofsted on the (i) workload and (ii) job satisfaction of teachers.

The Department is working with Ofsted to tackle the drivers of unnecessary workload at national level. We recognise the importance of assessing the impact that its policy changes have on teachers' workload and job satisfaction. The Department for Education Protocol sets out commitments to provide schools with a year’s lead time for any changes to accountability, the curriculum and qualifications, and to take into account the workload impact on schools of such changes.
The Department’s ‘workload action plan’, published in February 2017 alongside the results of the 2016 Teacher Workload Survey, sets out the steps we will take to continue to tackle workload at all levels of the education system. Ofsted has carried out a range of activity to support workload reduction: its recently published strategy includes a commitment to seek to reduce regulatory burdens, streamline inspection process and tackle the workload side effects of inspection. These commitments align with the Government’s commitment to reduce the burdens of inspection.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what her policy is on unnecessary paper work.
We are continuing our extensive work with the teaching profession to remove unnecessary workload. This will allow teachers to concentrate on teaching, rather than bureaucracy and paperwork.
We established three independent review groups to address the three biggest issues emerging from our 2014 Workload Challenge – unnecessary workload around marking, use of planning and resources, and data management. We published their reports on 26 March 2016. They allow teachers and school leaders to challenge unproductive practice and provide an opportunity to reassess and streamline policies and processes using their clear principles.
We have accepted all the recommendations for Government from those reports. Our action plan, published on 24 February this year, shows that we are fully committed to doing more.
The report on the findings of the first biennial survey on teacher workload, published at the same time, confirms that the Government was right to focus on these three major causes of unnecessary workload in schools.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of comments by the Children’s Commissioner for England on the impact of bureaucracy on the ability of school nurses to promote children’s well-being.

It is important that there is clarity about the roles that school nurses should, and should not, take on. That is why Public Health England (PHE) and its partners published a model specification for commissioning services for 0-19, in order to help inform decisions around the commissioning of the school nursing service and integrated services for school-aged children and young people.
PHE has also developed a number of professional pathways and guidance to support local delivery of school nursing services, including safeguarding. This guidance is currently being reviewed by partners, including National Health Service England (NHSE), and is expected to be published in early-spring 2017.
Adoption of technology is one way of addressing the burden of paperwork. Many services are now using technology and digital platforms to improve productivity and access, particularly for young people who may not usually access services through more traditional methods.

I therefore welcome many aspects of the Bill and in...
