Following Ofsted's Big Listen consultation, a number of changes to school inspections have been announced. From the scrapping of single headline judgements to the introduction of report cards, this issue of Education Business summarises what schools need to know.

We also have a big focus on education technology, with a preview of Bett 2025, as well as features on tackling digital poverty amongst pupils and getting the most out of a school's existing and new technology.

Elsewhere, BESA's Peter Doyle examines the impact the 5.5 per cent pay rise for teachers will have on school budgets, and how technology can support better budget management and forecasting.

There's also features on net-zero, indoor air pollution, cyber security, educational trips, and more.

I hope you enjoy the issue.
