Third of teachers oppose plans for school report cards

1 min read Education
More than a third of teachers oppose government plans to introduce new report cards to grade the quality of schools, a survey has revealed.

The National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) study, which questioned almost 1,400 teachers, asked whether the introduction of school report cards is a good idea.

Only 30 per cent of teachers said yes, but 37 per cent said no and the remainder were unsure about the plans.

Despite this, the majority of teachers agreed with the government on what the report cards ought to measure, should the system be introduced.

More than 90 per cent of teachers felt it was either "very" or "quite" important to include details on pupil progress, pupil behaviour and pupil wellbeing on the cards.

Around 80 per cent said information on pupil attainment, the curriculum and parent and pupil views should also be included.
