Last Friday, Huw attended a roundtable at Heathfield Community College attended by local Heads and Governors. Many excellent ideas were discussed and today Huw pushed one in Education Questions in the House of Commons that he feels would have a positive impact in supporting teachers from the pressures they face.

At a roundtable at Heathfield Community College last week, the Secretary of State’s adviser and I heard a number of great ideas from a group of headteachers and governors. One was that there is surely a need for the proposed parents’ pledge, to outline not only what parents can expect from teachers but what teachers can expect from parents. Would that idea help us to help teachers teach?
