Tes Magazine: Because education deserves a powerful voice

Over a hundred years ago, a publication was born with a simple yet powerful mission: to serve those who dedicate their lives to educating others. What began as a modest supplement turned into a magazine, passed from staffroom to staffroom, growing in influence as it travelled through classrooms, school halls, and leadership offices. This publication was Tes Magazine, a voice that has stood with educators through generations of change and challenge.

 

Today, although the education landscape has evolved significantly over the decades, with shifting policies, new technologies, and emerging challenges, one constant remains: educators remain central to progress, and Tes Magazine stands alongside them, illuminating their path and amplifying their voice.


A trusted partner for education professionals. Today, Tes Magazine has evolved into a vibrant digital hub of information, inspiration, and innovation. It delivers must-read news, in-depth analysis, global education research, and practical advice rooted in real-life experiences from professionals in and out of the classroom. Whether you're navigating your first year as a teacher or leading a thriving Multi-Academy Trust, Tes Magazine is designed specifically to support your unique educational journey.

For those in leadership—be it as a CEO, headteacher, senior leader, or middle leader—the magazine runs a variety of insightful series. These include:

  • How I Lead… – Personal stories from education leaders sharing the lessons they’ve learned along the way
  • My Week As… – A look behind the scenes of different roles across the sector
  • Middle Leader Essentials – Practical advice and reflections to help navigate one of the most pivotal roles in schools
  • Leadership forum – Guides and interviews to help education leaders of all levels hone their skills

These features aim to guide, inspire, and support educators facing the complexities of school leadership.

Dedicated to SEND professionals

Tes Magazine also passionately supports those who dedicate their careers to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). With expert insights, timely policy updates, and commentary from leading voices like Margaret Mulholland, Tes ensures SENDCos and inclusion specialists are equipped to make informed decisions that transform lives. Tes celebrates these educators whose dedication makes education accessible and inclusive for all students.

Essential Insights for Governors and Trust Leaders

For school governors, staying informed about governance, compliance, and regulatory changes is essential. Tes Magazine offers regular updates on these topics, along with deep dives into new education policies, safeguarding, and strategic planning. Whether you’re newly appointed or an experienced governor, the magazine equips you with the knowledge to support your role.

Multi-academy trust (MAT) leaders will also find a wealth of resources. From the popular MAT Tracker to articles exploring trust expansion, regional board highlights, and comprehensive data analyses, Tes Magazine ensures trust leaders have the tools and information they need to manage growth effectively and make evidence-based decisions.

What one MAT leader had to say about Tes Magazine…

“What I love most is the diversity of voices. Whether it’s a policy expert, classroom teacher, or fellow leader, the insights always feel authentic and grounded in real experience. For a trust like ours, with its broad educational scope and varied contexts, that range of perspective is incredibly useful.”

Mike Westerdale, CEO of Brigantia Learning Trust
