I teach in a lovely rural primary school & we have a realistic SLT but even still they are pulled into the Ofsted expectations.
I've been teaching a long time (28 years) and the things we're expected to do make no difference to children's learning.
I'm fed up of sticking Knowledge Organisers into books for every topic that no child looks at, sticking marking keys at the front of every book - why? Year 1 don't care 🤷♀️ they don't look at them.
We are on our third English text books this year - that's 90 pieces of paper that needed sticking in and that's just for one subject.
In Science we do 6 topics and we have a knowledge organiser for each one.
At least we no longer do loads of in-depth marking.
My love of the job continues to wane.
