The Department for Education (DfE) is holding two national interactive events to showcase work that is currently being done in schools to effectively reduce teacher workload. Each event will start with a presentation from Sean Harford, National Director of Education at Ofsted, on School Workload and the Education Inspection Framework 2019 and other keynote speeches. These will be followed by the opportunity for delegates to participate in workshops run by serving teachers and leaders linked to their work on workload reduction and the DfE toolkit. These follow successful events held last academic year, but this time will feature new schools.
The events are aimed at members of senior leadership teams from all types of schools and for them to invite the chair/a member of their governing board due to the strategic link between workload and recruitment and retention. There will be specific workshops for governors.
There is no charge for the events, which take place in Central London on Friday 17 May and in Manchester on Thursday 23 May.

Further details about the workshops will be posted on this DfE site shortly.
