In this November episode of Requires Improvement we offer some personal insights into what conditions are like in schools right now and how this is affecting staff, students and the wider community.

We discuss Lee's story about catching COVID and ending up in hospital, whether schools can continue to be fully open, the apparently still-happening exams system in England, the NEU's current response, comparisons between primary and secondary schools, in addition to some other errata of the current historical moment. This episode is hosted by Lee, who is joined by Tom, Nik, Lauren and Charlie. Prepare yourselves for a real rager folks.
