What the bestselling books for teens tell secondary teachersSecondary schools are being pushed to boost reading, but what is the best way to do that? Rufus Thomas looks for clues in the Waterstones’ bestseller list about what teens actually want to readwww.tes.com

The @tesmagazine.bsky.social team have been busy this morning taking your key questions to the gov on thr below and finding what (slim) answers there are. Key qs remain, including the future of P8.. We'll keep updating as we get more detail so bookmark it! Read here: www.tes.com/magazine/new...

New technical routes for schools: what we do and don’t knowA huge announcement on secondary education was made by Andy Burnham last night, begging a raft of questions. We set out the answers the sector needs and the detail - where it exists - we know alreadywww.tes.com

BREAKING: A huge shift in secondary education has been announced by @andyburnham.bsky.social - new technical routes offered in schools for 14 year olds.... by 2028. Announcing in the holidays with very little info is not a good way of selling it to the sector. www.tes.com/magazine/new...

New technical pathways in secondary schools by 2028, PM announcesSchools will be inspected by Ofsted on vocational offering, but sector leaders want more details on multiple aspects of the planswww.tes.com

Congratulations to @georgiagould.bsky.social - reappointed as a minister at the DfE, hugely respected by all who have met her and will bring some needed continuity to the Send reforms.

Congratulations to @lucympowell.bsky.social - a lot of big reforms in motion, a lot of heat around those reforms. Some big delivery targets to hit. Proper discussion with the sector will be essential.

This is hugely concerning, Pearson has a lot of questions to answer. Appalling that primary pupils and staff have been let down.

The Tes team has worked very quickly to update all our payscales tables - example below. All the tables here: www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

There is a lot of politics, and a lot of practical nuance, in this pay deal. Did Bridget Phillipson get more from the treasury than many expected? Definitely. But is this a good deal for the sector? It depends who you ask. (1/5)

Big exclusive from @cerysturner.bsky.social - two-year pay plan, not fully funded - schools' ability to make up the difference will depend heavily on their context.

A small study, but part of a wider body of evidence warning that we need to be clear on the objective of any ban - and whether is is the best way to achieve that objective.
