As school leaders, you're navigating a rapidly shifting landscape where staff wellbeing is more crucial than ever. However, there are some key challenges impacting educational settings and staff wellbeing:
Currently, there are over 4,000 vacant teaching positions meaning educators in our schools are working beyond
their means.
Numerous outdated systems, processes, and ways of working are still being utilised, decreasing efficiency and adding to time pressures.
Old beliefs about how teaching 'should be' are stopping us from rethinking and redesigning schools to become
great workplaces.
We lose over 50% of educators in their first few years of teaching due to unaddressed, ongoing issues such as high workloads and lack of support, and challenging
classroom conditions.
Too many leaders rely on reactive approaches to improve staff wellbeing that are no longer sufficient and which fail to address the cause of the issue.
There is a lack of clarity around how to lead staff wellbeing initiatives; the "what, how, who, and why" of creating sustainable change.
SWIM our Staff Wellbieng and Improvement Membership, is a comprehensive, 12-month program designed for school leaders and leadership teams. Its focus is on equipping schools with the tools, frameworks, and support needed to prioritise and enhance staff wellbeing while fostering sustainable growth and improvement.
In SWIM we teach you how to identify and create the shifts needed, so your workplace can thrive, equipping everyone, individually and collectively, to work on areas that make a difference.
Turn your school into a great workplace where people feel, work, team and lead well.
● Learning options to suit everyone
● Pre-recorded modules
● Plug and Play staff meetings & Workshops
● Q&A Mentoring Sessions
Ever wondered what’s really going on beneath the surface in your school? Beneath the Surface is for schools who want to go beyond surveys and tick-box wellbeing programs. This is about real conversations, honest feedback, and the kind of insights you can actually use to create a better workplace for your staff.
We talk directly to your staff, in small, safe groups, to find out:
● What’s working well when it comes to staff wellbeing?
● What’s getting in the way?
● What changes or support would actually make a difference?
We don’t sugarcoat. We listen, then pull together the real themes in your staff’s own words, organised clearly so you get the true story, not just another data dump.
● What’s Working: The strengths and practices you can build on right now.
● Challenges: The friction points, pressure zones, and hidden stressors.
● Ideas and Recommendations: Staff-driven suggestions plus expert advice—for quick wins and long-term culture change.
Every report is tailored to your school, no cookie-cutter answers, and no words changed or polished to make things look prettier than they are, Just honest insights, and real staff voice, organised so you can take action.
● A practical, easy-to-read report you can share and use right away.
● Clear steps for immediate wins and bigger, lasting improvements.
● Real understanding of how your staff are feeling, and what they need to thrive.
If you’re ready to move past surface-level fixes and start hearing what really matters, Beneath the Surface will help you listen, act, and lead with confidence.

As an educator, you know that your wellbeing has never been more important. And yet, this complex issue is often misunderstood, leading to band-aid solutions that don’t address the root cause or inspire long-term change.
I believe we all play a part in writing a better story for our wellbeing - and this occurs both with us individually and within our schools. This diagnostic will help ascertain your levels of individual everyday wellbeing, and your school's workplace wellbeing.
We offer an All Staff Wellbeing Report, designed specifically for schools that want a whole school snapshot of staff wellbeing. This collective report provides anonymised, collective insights into your team’s wellbeing, identifies key stressors, and offers tailored recommendations and next steps to guide meaningful action.
Transforming Schools to be Sustainable Workplaces
The Thriving Schools Partnership focuses on enhancing staff wellbeing, reducing stress factors, and capturing staff voice to drive change. We are committed to creating healthy and sustainable work environments for educators and staff.
To effectively create a thriving school with staff at the center, we work through 4 key phases:
Build a shared understanding of wellbeing, setting the scene to begin your school improvement journey.
Scan and assess what's happening in your setting, collecting and reviewing a range of data and our Beneath the Surface process.
Review and inquire into the data, identifying quick wins and long-term focus areas that underpin the growth and change work to act.
We work together to choose your next steps, using your data and school needs, designing a bespoke plan to suit your context, based on one of the three options:
1. Design your Staff Wellbeing Framework
2. Middle leaders as leaders of staff wellbeing; building capacity, consistency, and refining workflow.
3. Taking your action plan further and responding to staff voice.
We run a number of online masterclasses and live events throughout the year, diving deep into the hottest topics in wellbeing, leadership, and workplace culture. Stay tuned, new sessions are always on the horizon.

A Real Conversation for Teachers and Leaders
If you’re an educator you’ll know this: teacher wellbeing has never been more important. And yet, this complex issue is often misunderstood, leading to band-aid solutions that don’t address the root cause or inspire long-term change.
In this go-to guide for teachers and leaders, Amy Green provides inspiration and practical tools to unpack the many facets of teacher wellbeing. She explores the purpose of teacher wellbeing; where we’ve gone wrong in tackling issues such as burnout and stress; and what we can do to build teacher capacity and enhance school systems to support teacher wellbeing.
Amy believes we all play a part in writing a better story for our teachers. With awareness and knowledge we can move beyond tokenistic activities to long-term, embedded, sustainable solutions.
In these pages you will find a deeper, richer, more holistic approach to improving wellbeing. It’s a book that will inspire the real conversations we so desperately need. Together, we can bring about transformation far beyond what we imagine.
A must read for all school leaders
It’s time to lead a wellbeing revolution in education.
Staff wellbeing is now the number-one priority for many schools across the globe. As leaders, we know this is a positive shift; yet many of us feel ill-equipped and under-resourced to lead the change we know is needed.
Wellbeing Leadership, Amy Green’s follow-up book to Teacher Wellbeing, provides guidance and inspiration to foster a thriving school culture. In its pages Amy unveils four essential qualities for a wellbeing-centred workplace, and eight characteristics that empower staff to feel, work, team and lead well.
This book is more than just a guide; it’s a call to action. Amy invites you to rethink everything – from systems and processes to beliefs and assumptions. She encourages bold, brave action and leveraging the untapped power within your school setting.
Be prepared to question, innovate and sometimes defy the status quo. This isn’t just about wellbeing; it’s about the revolutionary shift needed in our schools to truly support staff and students.
