📢 New Report Alert: "Systems Matter II: The Impact of the Academy System on Staffing" 📢

We’re excited to share our latest report commissioned by CASE and authored by journalist Warwick Mansell. This follow-up investigation sheds light on how the academy system affects school staffing and resources.

🔍 Key Findings:

Lower classroom spending: Academies spend less per pupil on teaching and support staff than local authority schools.
Fewer teachers per pupil: Pupil-to-teacher ratios are higher, especially in the largest academy trusts.
Lower teacher pay: Teachers in academies, especially in "sponsored academies," earn less than their local authority counterparts.
Younger, less experienced workforce: More teachers in academies are younger and lack Qualified Teacher Status.
Higher teacher turnover: Turnover is significantly higher in the largest academy trusts.
These findings raise important questions about how academy structures are affecting classroom quality. Read the full report for more insights! 📖
