Delayed report into the Ebacc
No information yet about Y7 SATs resits
Scrapping of levels with no replacement leaving schools and parents confused
Heads threatening to boycott KS2 SATs
Massive budget cuts
The imminent plummeting GCSE pass rate
Last minute syllabus releases for reformed GCSEs
The mess that is decoupled AS-levels
The teacher retention disaster
The teacher recruitment crisis - latest news is that targets have been badly missed for teacher training this year in key subjects
Calls for more financial regulation of academies
