Support for staff under pressure

78% of education staff report workplace stress each year.

Built on our work with hundreds of headteachers, Secrets to Your Peak Performance is now available for staff across your school: classroom teachers, SEN teams, DSLs and support staff.

Staff learn practical, evidence-based techniques to feel calmer, think more clearly and recover more quickly through the school day.

It’s delivered through short, engaging videos and a step-by-step facilitator guide, so it fits easily into your existing CPD. A simple, proven way to support the staff who need it most.

• Use weekly, or flexibly whenever it suits
• Runs easily in staff meetings, twilight CPD or small groups
• For teaching and non-teaching staff
• Includes a free app for all staff

• Created by Maria Brosnan and Dr Carla Stanton, experts in education, health and wellbeing.

Our approach to staff wellbeing

We focus on two simple things: how staff feel, and how well they can do their jobs.

When people feel calm, valued and supported, and have tools to manage daily pressure, they work better. And when that happens, the whole school benefits, the children most of all.

When staff wellbeing is supported, schools often see:

• fewer days lost to stress and sickness
• more energy, focus and resilience day to day
• staff feeling valued, and more likely to stay
• a calmer environment for pupils to settle, focus and learn

This training builds on our work with school leaders – see more about that here.
