History

The Times Educational Supplement was first published in 1910 as a pull-out supplement in ''The Times'' newspaper. Such was its popularity that in 1914, the supplement became an independent weekly publication selling for 1 penny.^[1] By 1999, a separate group of News International - ''Times Supplements Limited'' - was restructured to create TSL Education Ltd, at this stage also publishing the ''Times Higher Education Supplement'', and ''Nursery World''. In October 2005, the group was sold to Exponent, a private equity group, who in turn sold it to Charterhouse in May 2007. November 2006 saw a re-launch of the newspapers appearance and content, both off and online, becoming a full-colour publication in its print version.

Today

Until the middle of 2007, the editor of the main edition was Judith Judd, who had previously worked for ''The Independent'' and ''The Observer'' newspapers. She has now stepped down and no new editor has yet been appointed. She was preceded by Bob Doe and he by Caroline St John Brookes who was forced to retired due to ill health. The deputy editor is Wendy Berliner, who previously worked for ''The Guardian'' and ''The Independent'' newspapers. Alternative versions of the publication are produced for Wales and Scotland, named '''TES Cymru''' (edited by Nicola Porter) and '''TESS''' (edited by Neil Munro) respectively.
The newspaper continues to be published weekly on Fridays, at a cover price of £1.30. It has continued to combine its print publication with its online presence, particularly in connection with its employment vacancies advertising programmes. Circulation figures for the second half of 2006 show an average net circulation per issue of 62,258, with 98.2% of these being sold in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.^[2] Data from the National Readership Survey suggests that average monthly readership is around 474,000, of which around 90% are in the ABC1 category.^[3]
The TES website is now split into distinct sections, including 'Community', 'Jobs' and 'Resources'. Under Community you'll find Staffroom forums for teachers. Jobs is home to all the vacancies listed in the TES paper and is updated daily. In the Resource section there's the Resource Bank where teachers upload classroom resources (lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, IWB resources, etc.) to share with other teachers. The Review Bank is home to a database of educational products (books, software, classroom equipment). An electronic archive of TES news articles relating to education and published since 1994 is also available.
