Distributed leadership and staff well-being

Leaders have worked effectively with the staff team to develop leadership capacity across the school whilst also ensuring an improvement in staff well-being. Leaders have used a range of purposeful professional learning as well as targeted coaching and mentoring sessions to strengthen leadership capacity. As a result, they have developed a team of enthusiastic middle leaders who support with evaluating and improving practice at the school. Further, leaders have planned activities and provision to ensure the well-being of the staff team. They have developed both internal and external mechanisms to support staff well-being, with access to services such as physiotherapy, counselling and healthcare. Other beneficial activities include visits from well-being providers such as aromatherapy. As a result, most staff feel well supported by leaders and feel that they take their well-being and workload into account.
