Research published last week by the Greater London Authority has shown that demand for secondary school places in the capital will increase by more than 25% by 2025, with more than 90 extra places needed, resulting in a need for 105,000 new schools. Furthermore, a teaching conference in the city last week was set to discuss research suggesting that headteachers who are considering retirement may be asked to either delay the process, or take a ‘phased retirement’ to help cut severe leadership shortages being faced in London schools.
