The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), which has more than 28,000 members across the UK, is conducting pilots this September of its own inspection regime, which it is calling Instead. Instead inspectors will all be working headteachers and will only visit schools a similar size to their own and outside their town or county. One of the main criticisms of the current state-funded inspection regime, Ofsted, is that retired out-of-touch heads who have worked in small primary schools, for example, can be picked to inspect large secondary schools. Instead heads will offer feedback and stay in touch with the head after their inspection. They will look beyond a school's results, the NAHT said. Teachers have long berated Ofsted inspectors for concentrating ...

Year 11 has felt like a blur: sixth-form open evenings, choosing A-levels, and applying for a place. It's no wonder I feel like falling face down on to the practice papers on my bedroom floor, felled by the responsibilities to come. The first four years of secondary school were the calm before the storm. My friends and I were carefree. We used to say we couldn't wait until we were released from the confines of the school walls, never to look back. Now I devote a part of every day to depressing myself about the future. Let me explain... Worry number 1: picking A-levels Why is it so hard to choose A-levels? I've tried it all – reading posts on the Student Room, consulting the National Careers Service , asking friends and teachers – but I end up feeling more indecisive than ...

The Institute for Fiscal Studies, the respected economics thinktank, is calling for pupils in primary and secondary schools to be set seven different pass marks, according to their month of birth. Pass marks for children born in February and March would stay as they are, but they would be set higher for those born in the autumn and would be lower for those born in the summer. It follows research that shows summer-born pupils perform less well in exams, are more likely to be diagnosed with mild special needs and have behavioural problems than their autumn-born peers. Even a month age gap between classmates can make a difference, studies show. The disadvantage summer-born pupils face can have "potentially serious long-term consequences on their lives," the report, When ...

One national tutoring agency, Exam Confidence, told the Guardian it charged schools up to £1,400 a day. Another, the Kip McGrath Education Centre in Portsmouth, one of the country's leading tuition firms, said schools were paying at least £1,000 a year for its services. Both said the number of state schools registering for its services was growing. In most cases, headteachers and tuition firms said the cost of the tutors was covered, at least in part, by the pupil premium, a state subsidy introduced by the coalition that entitles schools to an extra £900 a year for each pupil on free school meals. The revelation prompted one classroom union to ...

The sandbox is a special workout, devised by the fitness coach Tom Shaw, which is set in a 50-yard by 10-yard area hacked out of the native scrubland and filled ankle-deep with thick, cloying sand. This is, in theory, the offseason for established NFL stars like Johnson and Taylor. They have no business being out in the full glare of a humid Floridian spring, the temperature pushing 90°F. Their workout partners are an odd collection, including a local high-school hopeful; Kerry Joseph, a quarterback for the Canadian Football League's Edmonton Eskimos; the University of ...

Hundreds of thousands of children – some as young as two – now receive private tuition at a cost of between £7 and £60 an hour. Parents say the extra study gives their children confidence and helps them secure top grades, but headteachers are warning that the tutoring market is beginning to spiral out of control and is "trading on insecurity". Interviews with seven tutoring agencies reveal that: • One already large tuition business has seen 42% growth over the past year. • One agency is recruiting 100 new tutors a month to cope with demand. • One has opened more than 50 extra study centres over the past year.
