Join the Tes news team as we discuss teachers’ concerns over Ofsted visits, and how most teachers say inspections should be paused for at least a year.

We also look at the first week back at school. While attendance figures have been positive, our Tes survey revealed serious anxieties from teachers over the practicalities of social distancing at work. 

We discuss Ofqual’s evidence to the Commons Education Select Committee earlier in the week, when chair Roger Taylor revealed that the GCSE and A-level grading algorithm was doomed to fail from the start.

And while scientists suggest ventilation in schools could be assisted by teachers and pupils donning winter jumpers, we also look at whether cravats truly are a modern uniform item.
