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 ...

Greg Wood, a GP who worked at the company as a senior adviser on mental health issues, said claimants were not assessed in an "even-handed way", that evidence for claims was never put forward by the company for doctors to use, and that medical staff were told to change reports if they were too favourable to claimants. The doctor claimed he resigned in disgust at what was going on, saying that many doctors he had spoken to shared his concerns. "I think the Department for Work and Pensions is the real culprit here. It's the government training that makes Atos assessors do this." The work capability assessment is used for the government's employment and support allowance, a benefit paid to ...

Her picture was very predictably on every national newspaper front page in Britain (though not in the United States, and not even on page one of the New York Times on the day it ran her op-ed article about the operation). This says something about the difference between British and American journalism. (Discuss). It also raises the question of whether celebrity power is merely a media construct, and therefore foisted on the public, or whether the public responds to it positively without the need of prompting. (Discuss also). What cannot be in any doubt is that serious matters often achieve a widespread public reaction when celebrities get involved. Indeed, Jolie's visit in March 2013 to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in order to campaign against rape in conflict zones was a case in point. To use the appropriate cliché, it "raised awareness" of ...

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.

Some experts in Britain's most common cancer are expecting the NHS to face increasing demand from women anxious about developing breast cancer and keen to be tested after actor Angelina Jolie revealed on Tuesday that she had undergone a double mastectomy that had reduced her risk of getting breast cancer from 87% to 5%. But fears have been raised that the NHS's 35 genetic testing centres, which test about 8,000 women for the BRCA genes – which can increase the risk of breast cancer by up to 80% – will not be able to cope with a planned expansion in the number of women eligible to go there.
