Wind of change

More private schools will close this year thanks to the combined efforts of the Fantasist of the Exchequer and the Education Sec. to tax them out of existence, putting the public sector under even more pressure.
    Meanwhile, the boss of Ofsted wants to reduce the summer break to 4 weeks and move exams to cooler parts of the year than May to June.
    Teachers will go along with the 4-week idea as long as the Ofsted boss goes ahead with longer half-term breaks and keeps the teachers’ holiday entitlement the same as it is now.
