Abstract

The research was designed to explore in detail the strategies schools used to implement the key contractual changes of school workforce reform: the introduction of guaranteed time for PPA; limits on the amount of cover that teachers may carry out for absent colleagues; the introduction of LMT; and the removal of the requirement to routinely invigilate external examinations. It also aimed to explore, to a lesser extent, other contractual changes which related to work/life balance; the transfer of administrative tasks to support staff; and the introduction of DHT. In each case, the aim was to explore the arrangements that schools had in place, and perceptions of their impact on standards and on teacher workload. It also focused on the impacts on those support staff most affected by the changes: teaching and learning support staff who regularly took responsibility for whole classes, and administrative staff who had taken on roles formerly carried out by teachers.
