How can School Leaders improve Staff Wellbeing: Points of View
About this episode
Teacher wellbeing has fallen to its lowest level since 2019, according to the 2025 Teacher Wellbeing Index from Education Support. The findings paint a stark picture across the profession: 76% of education staff report feeling stressed, while 36% are at risk of probable clinical depression. Almost half (49%) say their working environment negatively affects their mental health, and 40% feel they need more support from their school.
So, what role do school leaders play in improving staff wellbeing and what practical changes could make the biggest difference? In this live Points of View discussion on TTR, we’ll explore the latest data and debate what school leaders can realistically do to support their staff.
On the panel: Rae Whitehouse, Gulcin Sesli, Rich Walkden, Tom Rogers and JP.
