A day to celebrate our students and our profession

Teachers, leaders and support staff will be in schools and colleges today, nudging their students on to the next steps, and quietly supporting those who need additional help. Just like any other working day.

Today’s results are an important marker for individual students, a measure of what they have achieved and a stepping stone to the future. As a profession, this is also a time to reflect on the bigger picture of the education system in which we work.
