Lack of guidance on using the SEND register leaves schools under- and over-recording pupils as needing support for special educational needs and disabilities, say leaders
TES Magazine is a longstanding and respected weekly publication dedicated to the education sector in the UK, with a primary audience of school teachers and education professionals. Originating as a supplement in The Times newspaper in 1910, it quickly gained popularity and became an independent publication by 1914. TES Magazine has maintained its reputation as an essential resource for those involved in teaching, school leadership, and educational policy.
The magazine covers a comprehensive range of topics within education, including classroom practice, management strategies, special education needs (SEN), continuous professional development (CPD), and the integration of technology (EdTech) into learning environments. It also addresses broader themes such as government announcements related to education policy, legal regulations affecting schools, data-driven insights into educational trends, press releases from relevant bodies, and practical how-to guides for educators.
TES Magazine’s readership primarily consists of teachers at all career stages—from early-career educators to experienced leaders—as well as policymakers and stakeholders interested in developments within the UK’s educational landscape. Its content is valued for both its practical guidance on day-to-day teaching challenges and its analysis of systemic changes impacting schools nationwide.
The publication delivers content through both print editions and robust online digital platforms. This multi-channel approach ensures that busy professionals can access timely news updates, expert commentary, resources for classroom use, and thought leadership pieces wherever they are most convenient.
