Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.An attempt by a headteachers' union to challenge government plans to publish primary school league tables was defeated in the High Court yesterday.
The National Association of Head Teachers had sought a judicial review of the way schools' performances are calculated in the tables, to be published in March. It said children who missed tests through absence and those with special needs should not be included in the results. The union failed to show that the Secretary of State had been unreasonable in deciding the basis for calculations.
