Head UK teachers’ unions and academies team up to establish new league table

Richard Adams:

After years of objecting to school league tables, headteachers’ unions are to establish a rival league table promising to offer more information for parents and downplay recent Department for Education rule changes.

The Association of School and College Leaders and the National Association of Head Teachers – which together represent the bulk of state school heads – are to join the United Learning academy chain and the PiXL network in promoting the league table
