How can schools tackle the huge challenges presented by the pandemic, while trying to squeeze the last drop out of their under-pressure budgets?

This was the question we asked leading education experts on our first Education Insights Expert Panel. It featured: Rebecca Boomer-Clark, chief executive of the AET multi-academy trust; Cathie Paine, CEO designate of REAch2 multi-academy trust; Professor Becky Francis, CEO of the Education Endowment Foundation; and Caroline Wright, director general of the British Education Suppliers Association. 

In an in-depth discussion, topics such as post-Covid attainment, academic interventions, purchasing decisions made by multi-academy trusts and the Schools White paper were analysed.
