Nine-day Fortnight for Teachers Has Positive Impact
Research into a nine-day working fortnight for teachers has found improved wellbeing and morale, better work-life balance, and increased interest from potential recruits.
Dixons Academies Trust, operating 16 schools, introduced the nine-day policy in September 2024, giving teaching staff one day off each fortnight on full pay, while maintaining full-time teaching for students.
The plan aimed to address national challenges in recruitment and retention and to improve work-life harmony for educators.
The Education Endowment Foundation commissioned IFF Research and the Ambition Institute to evaluate the scheme at seven schools.
