“Recruitment and retention of staff continues to be a significant challenge for schools as well as the availability of high-quality training and support for TAs.”
“Ideally, RSE would be at the center of a whole-school approach, with the principles of equity, positive relationships and elevating student voice guiding the school’s ethos – but it takes creative and brave leadership to consider what this means in practical terms and then implement it.”
