Abstract: The Working Lives of Teachers and Leaders (WLTL) is a longitudinal study anticipated to run for at least five years, up to 2026. It is intended to provide a representative picture of the experiences of teachers and leaders in state schools in England. The third wave was carried out in spring 2024. It was conducted by IFF Research and IOE UCL's Faculty of Education and Society on behalf of the Department for Education (DfE). The first wave was carried out in spring 2022, and the second was carried out in spring 2023. The aim of the study is to examine issues around teacher supply, recruitment and retention in the school teaching and leadership workforce in England. The study is intended to improve the evidence base around teachers and leaders experience of working in state schools in England and to help DfE to design policies that better support teachers and leaders. Specifically, the study looks at in-school factors in recruitment and retention of teachers (e.g. pupil behaviour, pay and rewards, flexible working, workload, continuing professional development (CPD)) according to an intersection of factors such as school phase, subject area taught, length of service, gender, race or ethnic group. This report presents detailed findings from wave 3 of the WLTL survey, which was conducted between 29 January and 7 May 2024.
