The wellbeing of staff in schools has never been more important. With almost a third of new staff leaving the profession after just five years and 26% of teachers saying they are thinking of leaving in the next 12 months (National Foundation for Educational Research), we are facing a teacher retention crisis. The We Lead Well Podcast has been created in response to this crisis, to encourage and support schools to create places where people love to work. We support leaders to enhance the wellbeing of all staff in schools. Each week, leading educationalists share their experience, views and tips on how other school leaders can promote wellbeing in their organisations for the benefit of all staff.

In this episode of the We Lead Well podcast, I talk to Ben White, the Director of School Improvement for Life Multi-Academy Trusts in Leicestershire. Ben shares his experiences in supporting leaders and headteachers across a diverse group of secondary and primary schools, focusing on enhancing teaching and learning environments.
We discussed the significance of developing a holistic leadership approach through programs like Resilient Leaders Elements and the challenges and benefits of creating a culture rooted in clear values and expectations. We talk about the complexities of aligning school policies with a school's unique culture and how a flexible framework can empower teachers.
Ben also shares insights from his work on diversity and anti-racist initiatives within the education sector, emphasising the importance of seeking external expertise and engaging in uncomfortable but necessary conversations to foster inclusivity and equity.
