Supporting Staff Wellbeing in Schools

Creating a thriving school community starts with the wellbeing of its staff. Teachers, leaders, and support staff are at the heart of every school’s success, shaping the lives of students and building a culture of learning and growth. But to truly unlock their potential, they need to feel supported, valued, and well-equipped to navigate the challenges of their roles.

Why Staff Wellbeing Matters

Staff wellbeing is not just an individual concern—it’s the foundation of a flourishing school community. When educators feel balanced and supported, they bring their best selves to work, inspiring students and fostering a positive learning environment. High levels of wellbeing lead to improved staff retention, reduced absenteeism, and a cohesive, collaborative school culture.

​

Conversely, when staff wellbeing is overlooked, the ripple effects are profound: increased stress, burnout, and ultimately, an impact on student outcomes. By prioritising the mental and emotional health of your team, you’re investing in the long-term success of your school.

​

The very fact you’re on my website reading this page tells me you care about the well-being of your team, so let me tell you some of the ways I can support your school community:

Coaching for Principals: Lead with Confidence and Clarity

As a Principal, you carry immense responsibility. The pressures of leadership can be isolating, and the demands can often overshadow your own sense of wellbeing. That’s where coaching tailored to your needs can make a transformative difference.

Using my experience as a Certified Master Coach and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Practitioner, I’ll help you understand yourself on a deeper level. By exploring your inner world, you’ll:

​

  • Gain insight into your leadership style and the parts of you that may drive stress or self-doubt.

  • Develop emotional agility to lead with and respond to challenges with clarity and confidence.

  • Build stronger connections with your team, creating a culture of trust and open communication.​
     

Leadership is not just about strategies—it’s about leading from within. When you’re grounded in self-awareness, you’re better equipped to inspire and guide those around you.

Achieving Your Strategic Wellbeing Goals

Every school has unique strategic goals around wellbeing. Whether it’s reducing burnout, fostering resilience, or creating a more inclusive environment, achieving these goals requires a clear plan and sustained effort.

​

I partner with schools to:

  • Understand your team’s challenges: Through consultations and assessments, I help uncover the underlying challenges your team may be facing.

  • Provide workshops, group or 1:1 coaching as required: Helping your team to feel empowered in looking after their own wellbeing and understanding how their inner world (thoughts, stories, feelings & emotions) impact their wellbeing & experience in life.

  • Provide ongoing support to ensure these strategies & knowledge are embedded into everyday practices.

 

By aligning wellbeing initiatives with your strategic priorities, we can create a school environment where staff and students thrive.

Workshops and Coaching: Practical Tools for Real Change

The wellbeing workshops and coaching sessions are designed to empower your staff with practical tools and insights to enhance their personal and professional lives. Whether it’s group workshops focused on resilience, emotional intelligence, or stress management, or one-on-one coaching tailored to individual needs, I help your team:

  • Build self-awareness and emotional resilience.

  • Navigate the pressures of the education environment with confidence.

  • Understand more about themselves and the impact their thoughts, feelings and reactions/responses are having, and how to make changes.

  • Cultivate a supportive, connected school culture.

SCHOOL COACHING WITH JO

The Happiness Club

The Emotional Management Programme from The Happiness Club has been designed to support pupils and staff with a range of accessible, fun and practical techniques that can be used anytime, anywhere. There is also an additional option for involving parents in the programme so that they can continue the support at home.

​

The Programme is available for pre-schools all the way through to University. Delivered in the relevant way for each age group.

​

The programme is delivered by The Happiness Club Trainers directly to the students once a week for 4 weeks and at the end of the 4 weeks, all staff are invited to a workshop to teach them the techniques. This enables them to continue with the techniques with the children and also assists them in building their own wellbeing and resilience.

It is much needed in times like now when we see the rising importance of safeguarding the mental wellbeing of our students and staff.
