Do we want... part time staff that are happier, more able to kind of complete their task because they have got that flexibility or, you know, are we happy with those staff who are full time and really struggling to keep up? And I wonder what you think of the biggest misconceptions that school leaders have around staff retention?

Reece HowellsGUEST
Yeah, some of the biggest misconceptions, and this won't be all of them, is one for us is we see it every recruitment cycle where schools, they do sit back and think, okay, we might be okay.

Reece HowellsGUEST

Reece HowellsGUEST
And then we get this boomerang thing of someone who said, no, we're OK this year.
