<p>All teachers who participate in the teaching of pupils are entitled to reasonable
periods of Planning, Preparation and Assessment (PPA). PPA time must amount to not
less than 10% of the teacher’s timetabled teaching time. A teacher must not be required
to carry out any other duties during the teacher’s PPA time.</p><p>There have been
no changes in the time allocated to teachers for planning, preparation and assessment:
this requirement has been in place since 2004.</p><p>The Department continues to work
with unions, teachers and Ofsted to challenge and remove unnecessary workload so that
teachers can focus on tasks which make the most positive impact on their pupils. For
example, a workload reduction toolkit has been published which provides schools with
practical tools and evidence-based solutions to enable them to streamline practice
in their schools. This includes a section on reviewing curriculum planning with case
studies on how schools have successfully reduced workload associated with planning.</p><p>The
workload reduction toolkit can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/workload-reduction-toolkit"
