The SecEd Podcast: Teacher retention & recruitment

One in 10 secondary teachers leave the profession every year. In this SecEd Podcast, we look at the latest research into the school workforce and we discuss practical strategies to support teacher retention and recruitment in secondary schools.

On retention, we tackle issues including workload, flexible and part-time working, supporting early career teachers, CPD & autonomy, and pay & conditions. We also consider the state of teacher recruitment and what schools can do to attract the best candidates.

Guests include Phil Denton, headteacher at St Bede's Catholic High School in Ormskirk; Chris Parkinson, executive headteacher of Bosworth Academy in Leicester; Jack Worth, the school workforce lead and an expert on the teacher labour market at the National Foundation for Educational Research.
