Sorry Michael, but the job is not what people went in to do. I retired last term, one year after I could, but I certainly would not want to have stayed on. My year leader is going this term, well early. Year leading, assessment coordinator (no extra planning time), gifted and talented (no extra time) teaching a whole new literacy and numeracy framework. And, by the way, the Y5 literacy framework is predicated on unfunded computers available to all the children in a year group for every literacy hour. Meanwhile, in a nearby evening class, the lecturer of adults in inspected by the Child Education Department with demands for individual learning plans for each of the paying customers. Who don't want them.
